Pros

Somewhat flexible scheduling, good insurance

Cons

They lull you in with a false sense of security and empowerment. Thats THE WORD there, empowerment. But when you take steps to use that empowerment, they fault you. I was there for a year (in CS) and then transferred to one of the back office departments. I was in that department for a few months, and the supervisor didnt like me so she made up about 15 different things to get me written up. She had no proof but I had no recourse. Went to HR, who did nothing. Because I was a simple agent and the other party was a supervisor, I had no ground to stand on. Nevermind that the year I spent in CS, I exceeded all company expectations and the supervisor stepped down to an agent position. Do not work for this company unless you like to be disrespected and back stabbed on a daily basis. Several of my friends who encouraged me to work there stated they loved it. I'm sure they used to be an awesome company, but I think they are trying to keep up with competitors and keep their bank accounts in the 7 digits. They've forgotten about their employees and the environment that made people want to work there in the first place.

Pros

Great company which is doing extremely well in the marketplace. In some groups, the code you touch affects the livelihood of millions of people. A great place to learn about payments and payments processing. Some really top notch engineers.

Cons

More than a few mediocre engineers just coasting. The code base is kind of a mess, although many efforts are being made to fix things. The development environment, building and testing, was a real mess when I was there, although I hear that things have gotten a bit better.
