Great company, but a little slow
I really enjoyed the company culture, as it felt like there was a strong belief in the mission to help small businesses and a supportive culture encouraging diversity, family, and inclusion. While I definitely felt the promotion of these ideals, they could definitely still work on diversity in their offices.
The company is large, and some of the systems are a bit old. With dealing with such a critical thing as money, processes tended to be extremely methodical, but at the cost of being very bureaucratic and slow. There was also still pressure on the development teams to produce, even under this atmosphere.
Management seemed fine.
I was very impressed with the product and project managers.
