Pros

Granted, the business has gone through a tough patch. However, I must commend the leadership team who has stepped up since the appointment of David Adams and brought about several positive changes in the business. Morale is up. Productivity seems to be on the up. We've gotten more benefits thanks to the HR team... And there's more to come. The positive energy is becoming tangible.

Cons

Navigating culture and comms from and with our leaders abroad remains a challenge. Even so, there has been some improvement in recent months, which is refreshing.

Pros

Great people to work with. PayFast used to be an amazing company to work for but after key people left and was bought over 3 times it has no resemblance of what it once was.

Cons

Management lacks transparency (say's one thing but does another), blames developers for poor planning and delivery (where devs was not part of or not listened to by management/product), lack of professionalism, lack of vision, lack of trust and lack of overall incentive. I could go on and on.
