      I have been working at Worldpay full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      * Play pool with some great people and a decent coffee in the morning
      * Super friendly and helpful management
      * Department leaders which genuinely, actually care about me (not just me, they take the time to get to know everyone under them - really great people)
      * Great flexible working options (currently working 4 days/week, 9-4)
      * Very respectable maternity/paternity/shared parental pay
      * Good career prospects - management are interested in helping you get where you want to go, not to hold you back or push you somewhere you don't want to go
      * Projects are generally fun, real world and widely used by many customers
      * Personal development time
      * Teams are highly talented and get lots of good work done
      * Good banter
      * Shiny new MacBook pro

      Cons

      I suppose my office (Cambridge) is a bit outdated at the moment, but there's a brand spanking shiny new one halfway built already right next door.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what you're doing in my department 🙂

      I have been working at Worldpay full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      - The people 'on the ground'. They're fun, bright, and super-supportive. Best I've worked with so far.
      - The work is a lot of chaotic, fun challenge (if you like that sort of thing!)

      Cons

      - Reward for excellence is promised but not delivered - unless you're a gifted salesperson. Example: I had 2 promotions, great performance reviews every year and almost nothing to show for it in terms of pay increase, except lame, patronising excuses. For a company doing so unbelievably well this is totally unacceptable, and the reason I'm leaving.
      - The internal staff network is poor, slow, grinds you down and does not support any form of specialised software.

      Advice to Management

      Actively seek out those who go the extra mile and reward them, instead of being horrendously stingy when it comes to pay, and 'trying it on' with lame 1980's politics.

      Current Employee - Project Lead in Manchester City Centre, England

      I have been working at Worldpay full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Great location in Manchester with outgoing people working there. Good social scene with colleagues. Hard work but good opportunities to gain experience in new areas.

      Cons

      Progression very limited in recent years following company floatation and subsequent merger. Lack of planning was an issue in my team that made working life difficult (not the case in wider business).

      Advice to Management

      Build a clear development/progression path for employees and start rewarding worthy internal candidates with promotions rather than filling vacancies with external candidates. Promote based on merit rather than 'who you know'. Ensure consistency between all teams with regards to support available.

      Pros

      Nice working environment
      Annual survey giving employees a chance to express themselves

      Cons

      Micro management, lots of politics and no career prospect where I work

      Advice to Management

      If you employ someone to do a job, let them do it!

      Pros

      You get to work with great people who are very knowledgable in payments and technology.

      Cons

      Worldpay are normally a follower at best in terms of new technology and functionality. This can be frustrating when speaking to prospects and clients who are working with our competitors.

      Advice to Management

      Look after the people you have. They're your best asset.

      Pros

      Good company as whole
      Good benefits package

      Cons

      I will only only talk about EDP department
      The place have no opportunities for individuals and also people expect you to work long ours without any and a lot bullying by management happens
      You don’t have the feeling of working in the team because people leave in 5 months and its like a military camp where you give up because you feel like you are in a dictatorship.
      People also never get any appreciation no matter how good you can do a job
      Company is nice but please avoid EDP department

      Advice to Management

      Watch the history of EDP and please try to make it a better place for employees

      Pros

      Flexi working. Good benefits. Nice office and location. More relaxed UK Management than pre Vantiv merger days.

      Cons

      Innovation, creativity are pretty much non existent as are UK career advancement and promotion opportunities post-merger cost cutting. Just a cash cow for US mother ship.

      Advice to Management

      Organic growth can be just as sexy as M&A. But that requires cost investment, risk taking, innovation and leadership. Not going to happen when it's run by risk averse Accountants. The 4B's boring boring boring boring...
