Pros

People are pretty cool, the culture is nice, there is not a lot of pressure from upper management, you get some cool events every now and then. Benefits are OK - 25 days paid time off, full medical insurance, home office 4 days a months, free fruit. There is definitely some good work/life balance.

Cons

Growing pains. Many people are getting hired, thus cutting down on a lot of costs like the aforementioned events. This leads to some questionable hires. Every team has a designated Scrum master - a position designed to aid the development process, though in reality it only hinders it. The company doesn't need so many people. A lot of time is wasted in communication between teams from different offices across the world. Also, a lot of dumb decisions from upper management - we start a project integrating some badly built Indian service, which is just not sufficient for out needs, and it breaks easily, spending many hours on it, only to drop it once we realize it really wouldn't work, and it turns out the company is paying way too much for it. There's a feeling of an everlasting chaos. In terms of salary compensation - definitely on the lower end of the spectrum. Additionally, the company is willing to hire someone else for more money than giving you a raise. The yearly bonus depends on management, although management doesn't really know what we're doing or how we do it.

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.

Cons

There is a lack of training and support, deceptive practices within the company. Bias behavior within leadership, and issues are never addressed. Frontline managers are abusive in conversation.
