Pros

People are genuinely humble and smart, no unnecessary ego Teams are small, but the bar is very high, so you end up working with brilliant minds Ahead of global payment companies — product, culture, growth and even how they think commercially Only enterprise merchants Big focus on doing things well rather than just doing more You get chances to travel outside and work with global teams A lot of emphasis on efficiency, so roles feel more strategic than repetitive If you’ve seen tougher or chaotic cultures before, you’ll value this place a lot more Good internal mobility, people do move around within the company Overall very professional setup, plus great company events. Very stable — very well capitalised, with a strong balance sheet and no history of layoffs.

Cons

Expectations are real — if performance or behaviour slips, it becomes visible quickly and usually doesn’t last long You have to stay on your toes, it’s quite performance-driven Honestly, not the place if you’re looking for an easy ride Continuous feedback culture, may not ideal for someone who can't take it.
