Do not work there

Pros

Nice people, some very talented ones, travelling. Flexible hours.

Cons

The senior management is rude, and has no respect for employees' work. A lot of hypocrisy, no transparency: behaviour is not what you wish to see in a work place nor favorable for you to grow. No engineering or product leadership. Process is chaotic. No shares, no bonus, no benefit at all, pension as low as possible (1%), everything is good to reduce the costs. Salaries more less good depending on the job. Some people are clearly underpaid. The company doesn't seem to know very well who are the clients and users. No work from home.

Pros

-Talented and fun people that you get to hang out with everyday -Plenty of learning opportunities that grow your skill set but also allow you to be creative and lead with solutions & ideas - lots of autonomy! -Help build a business that wants to provide positive impact, and change the way payments and treasury solutions are done in today's existing frontier markets

Cons

-During periods of intense growth, it can be chaotic but that is characteristic of any company in this stage. As long as you set expectations for an adventurous ride, you will be good! It's about perspective and finding an opportunity in every challenge.
