Pros

Work-life balance.

A lot of nationalities.

Huge payment volume.

The new CTO seems to have a better vision about the area:

  • Microservices
  • New technologies
  • Better career path
  • Positioning the tech team as a key player.
Cons

The technology is from another century: tomcat + Java + postgres to process more than 1k payments per second, all in-house, and a lack of clear ideas to change it.

There are too many differences between tech teams (way of working, team lead skills, challenges, etc.).
