Pros

- Ownership at all levels for all parties - Support for growth at all levels - Very smart people all around - Fast paced - Thriving business - Great visibility across the industry - Interesting and challenging problems to solve tech-wise and product-wise - Great transparent rewards, benefits and bonus package - Learning runs in each cell of the company - CKO principles are genuinely meant, practiced and evangelized, eg: Customer-First, Better, every day, etc. - Very transparent, high functioning and efficient management - Constant feedback and learning - Free food - Regular socials - Big clients (Netflix, ebay, agoda, klarna, you name it.....) - Satisfaction to see your work impacting millions across the globe

Cons

- Sometimes, in a big organization it is very hard to normalize the engineering culture and managers could become bottlenecks or the pain points. If there was something that checkout could improve, it is to become great across all pillars and functions - There are some bad apples from the past - The balance between fast paced deliveries and engineering excellence could improve across all pillars

Pros

Good salary, thats about it

Cons

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
