Pros

Paysafe has very good benefits, and the Group-wide policies are good. Working from home when needed was never an issue. Flexible work hours. It was never an issue getting time off when sick or for vacation (even "last minute"). I enjoyed working with people around the world.

Cons

It really depends on which part of Paysafe you work at. The culture/experience in the part of the Group I worked in (Income Access) was toxic and negative, and it's what I base my review on. LOW salaries pretty much across the board (and Paysafe makes it very difficult to increase it). Very disorganized and distant/self-serving management. The gap between managers and staff feels massive, at times. Poor client management strategies. There's a lack of direction and vision, and things just never seem to get done. Almost no training or onboarding provided for new employees. The clients can also be very unprofessional and unrealistic, hard to manage. There are a LOT of issues and bugs with the product, and a severe lack of documentation and knowledge by the support teams, but nobody cares. Lots of politics and corporate hierarchy games being played. Favoritism runs rampant. Annual review/bonus scheme is rigged (at least at Income Access). There's also a general feeling among the staff that if we worked at the Atwater office, our lives, jobs, and salaries wouldn't suck so much.

Pros

I recently joined the Paysafe team. My experience has been very positive. The onboarding process was well organized, informative and smooth from the start. The team has been super welcoming and supportive. It is clear that the company values its employees and creates and environment where new team members feel comfortable, included and motivated to succeed.

Cons

As a new employee, there is naturally a lot of information to absorb during the onboarding process, but the support provided has made it manageable and encouraging.

Pros

• The company offers some flexibility with remote/hybrid work options in certain teams. • Exposure to fintech and payment processing technology can be interesting for those new to the industry. • Decent health benefits and standard PTO in many locations.

Cons

• For the third consecutive year, the company has failed to pay out performance bonuses despite meeting or exceeding individual and team targets. It seems that they set very high budgets deliberately so no variable pay is paid. This has significantly impacted morale and trust in leadership. • Compensation overall feels below market rate for the skills required, especially when bonuses (which were promised as part of the total package) are consistently withheld. • Frequent reorganizations and shifting priorities create uncertainty and make it difficult to plan long-term. • Communication from senior leadership about financial performance and bonus decisions has been poor and lacks transparency. • They constantly lay off people to make up for losses in revenue.
