Pros

Some nice colleagues, sadly they have been handicapped by moronic leadership

Cons

So many. its actually difficult to list them all. Lets start with the leadership. The CEO is a micromanager who just hires his mates and yes men. Anyone who doesn't agree with his grand plan is terminated or pushed to the sidelines The CTO is unhinged, he sadly lacks the technical capability and knowledge to operate effectively. He talks about being high integrity and then hired his own kid. Outside of agreed processes. The CFO isn't a CFO and was brought in by the investors as their man because the company was struggling. He has hired an army of consultants to produce reports. And treats them like dirt. They have a Chief Brand Officer, who is really into cycling. Thats about all I can say. The Chief Product Officer, fixes problems that she causes and is then feted for being a high achiever. The only sensible one who knows what hes doing is the COO. The ongoing decisions are some of the craziest I've ever seen. Trying to save money but then spending millions on fancy offices, marketing campaigns with 0 roi. Trying to open in new markets when they're failing in their key ones. The main line of business losing money hand over fist and yet they proclaim that they are breaking even. This place is one of those Zombie Unicorns. Will never ipo as they're too far gone and have too much money in the bank. It's just going to tick along until they convince someone crazy enough to buy the company. Avoid like the plague, this place is toxic and will damage you and your career.

Pros

SaltPay has an incredible belief in young talent. Very few companies give so much responsibility to people still early in their careers. Young 20-year-olds are granted guidance from extremely successful directors and are urged to run the business and make mistakes. Everyone has a direct line to Edu and Ali. Weekly all-hands meetings are used for anyone in the company to ask questions for the leaders in a segment called Real Talk. The level of transparency and lack of hierarchy is very high. People are empowered to challenge leadership and present their own data-driven opinions. The lack of hierarchy helps foster fluidity so that people can easily change their priorities and work on new projects that they believe will bring more value.

Cons

Since the mission of serving all SMEs in Europe is extremely challenging it is common to see people working long hours to achieve it. It's not frowned upon to leave work earlier (at 6pm) but the culture is based around getting results done and this means people end up wanting to stay longer in order to deliver.
