RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEO
Pros
  1. People are good and caring, with a lot of experience in the payment industry.
Cons
  1. No job guarantee in the long term.

  2. Letting go of experienced people who knew about the system.

  3. Even people in the company for 18 years are fired; others are demoted, even if you are making a profit or having an A+ performance.

  4. All issues with sales (if they lose a business) are burdened on tech teams, and being in tech, you will be fired.

  5. Lot of directors and management, less development and innovation.

  6. Expectation is to handle more than one department and function.
