Pros

Payments as business sector, is booming.

Cons

In the face of record profits, leadership reduced annual compensation by more than 6% by discontinuing a popular pension plan. This decision was communicated in a ham-fisted manner which left employees with few answers on why this happened and how. Benefits meetings were cancelled and rescheduled to small rooms which allowed for limited Q&A. It was a jerk move. You need to ask yourself how you will ever be able to trust a team of leaders who get paid 1,000x more than you, when they make moves like this.

Pros

Great co-workers, some leaders with integrity from Al Kelly time, great benefits, 401k, what used to be great WLB.

Cons

-Incompetent CTO and leadership, specially at the Sr Dr/ VP level, moved from Msft in troves. -No focus on product/features delivery using AI, rather useless AI tools to track productivity (LOC and other laughable outdated metrics). -All Optics, no innovation, decades behind Fintechs like Stripe in innovation. -Extreme toxic culture and politics at leadership level.
