Pros

Nice office, some teams have a great time together.

Cons

Equity is a ‘boys club’. Managers rotate on a 3 month-ish basis which means you will never be seen as a decent developer because you are constantly chasing validation from the next person.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It’s good to see some of the positives you’ve highlighted from your time with us, but clearly the focus of your feedback is areas for improvement. To speak to some of your comments, early this year we were excited to launch our Employee Equity Programme which extended the opportunity for employees to receive equity and immediately empowered over 75% of our people to become owners of Checkout.com. We are now moving towards a system of annual equity grants for both new and existing employees, ensuring that our top performers continue to earn rewards in line with their contributions and making the process consistent for all of our people. You’re also right that we’re going through a period of rapid growth, but we hope that continues to bring more opportunity for our people to grow alongside the company. We take your other comments about recognition onboard and will be feeding that back to your department. And should you wish you add anything further, please don't hesitate to reach out to people.acquisition@checkout.com. Thanks again,

Pros

Good salary, thats about it

Cons

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
