Pros

Leading edge fin tech and exposed to great technology and initiatives. Brand makes it easier to open doors to prospective merchants and partners, but you still need to deliver. Solid balance sheet.

Cons

New leaders from McKinsey, Goldman have ruined the culture created by the previous CEO. Micromanaging and cover your but is the prevailing leadership credo. You can perform at or above target but if your leadership doesn't like you they will impose a performance improvement plan process with no real opportunities to address. Leadership not open to feedback nor new ideas, just do what I tell you.
