Pros

- snacks, lunch (quality could be much better) - use latest technology - you can learn a lot

Cons

Working in Checkout costs me my mental health. Long hours are normal here. The culture is extremely toxic. Despite how hard you try, it won't be recognised. You feel like you are on your own all the time. Priorities constantly change. Estimations are always very unrealistic, and if you disagree, you are punished. People don't care about each other. Very easy to burn out.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your time with us had such a negative impact on your wellbeing. What you’ve described doesn’t reflect the kind of environment we aim to create at Checkout.com. We know how important it is for people to feel supported, recognised and able to do their best work without compromising their mental health. While we operate in a fast-paced environment where priorities can evolve, that should never come at the expense of clarity, fairness or respect between colleagues. We’re continuing to invest in how we support our teams, whether that’s improving how work is planned and prioritised, strengthening manager capability, or creating more space for open, constructive feedback. We also recognise that experiences can vary across teams and feedback like yours plays an important role in helping us identify this.

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.
