Pros

- Salary. Most of people are nice to work with. - Yearly bonus. - Good onboarding (if you get a good person) - Parking

Cons

- You can be fired any time with no reason. To manage budget company is firing huge part of employees with very short notice. They are booking 1-1 meeting on which HR joins you and your manager and you are told that you are fired. BUT with good payout (not making situation better). - They have 25EUR per person budget for team building, but they are happening 1th a year, or it just random bar gathering after work. - Micro-management is a thing here. - People are treated as a resource, not like individuals. - Devs showing initiative will only be appreciated by “Thanks” and still got fired. - QAs are treated like a regression machines. Non-stop regressions, no communication from business, just test a ticket and document every small thing. - If you will not ask to set your yearly goals - don’t wait for promotion. - Free lunch at office 2 times per week - lunch is so bad most of the times so it’s better to go out to eat somewhere. - While telling that hybrid and remote work is okay during interview, you are getting pushed to come to office. - Teams don’t know what other teams are doing. - Your performance is measured by activity logs. Not by results. Overall, very average place to work, with yearly firings. But you can get to know very good people and have new friends.

Pros

Strong presence in the payments industry with competitive products and high-visibility enterprise clients. The work can be complex and professionally challenging. There are many talented individual contributors who care deeply about their clients and consistently go above and beyond.

Cons

Low level HR does not seem to do their job. Leadership quality is inconsistent and, in some areas, deeply problematic. Promotions do not consistently reflect performance, integrity, or people-management ability. This has contributed to environments where politics and favoritism can outweigh merit. There are leaders whose management style and impact on morale are widely discussed across teams, yet accountability for these patterns appears limited. In some cases, individuals with reputations for high turnover or negative team culture continue to be rewarded or remain unchecked. High-performing employees who are committed to the company’s success are not consistently supported or protected. Strong contributors often exit while ineffective leadership remains in place. Meanwhile, disengaged or underperforming individuals may remain insulated. There is a clear gap between publicly stated values and day-to-day management behavior. Psychological safety is not consistently present, and raising concerns through formal channels does not always lead to neutral or constructive outcomes. Over time, this erodes trust, damages morale, and drives preventable turnover.
