Extremely toxic environment, terrible manager, awful stack

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home. Average pay.

Cons

I used to work for the Postpay Payment Integrity data science team. The manager (director) was extremely incapable and toxic. Non-stop stalking on employees' personal lives and threatening if you do not follow nonsense instructions. They straight up refused any feedback that could improve their products, which had originally been built with the data science knowledge level of high schooler. The technology stack is also awfully outdated. I'd stay away at all cost.
