Pros

Reasonable compensation Nice office Pension benefit Great place if you just want a pay check and have no pride in your work

Cons

More and more people including developers keep resigning, nearly all key individuals have already left. Non negotiable, out of touch directives from new owners in Dubai that show zero concern for local leadership or employees Leadership in South Africa are spineless 'yes men' who are actively resulting in revenue loss through incompetency. Benefits like work from home or hybrid have been removed despite promises in interviews, other benefits in contracts have not been honored, this Company is dishonest. Difficult place to get work done, most seem preoccupied with finding work elsewhere than doing their jobs. This is not a people orientated organization.

Pros

Growth and a sense of family. People you could trust when it came to times when your back was against the wall.

Cons

All the people who were retrenched deserved so much better. The way things are now, loyalty is a swear word and forbidden, and the execs will steal the milk out of your coffee and still sharpen the knife in front of you before stabbing you in the back.

Pros

PayFast used to be one of the best, family centric start ups I ever worked for. I enjoyed my job and going to work.

Cons

Now, after being bought by Network International, people are just numbers amd not treated well at all. The worst HR department ever.
