Pros

Interesting technology stack, even if a bit heavy on outdated legacy services. Very good work to life balance. Work from home easily done and supported by management.

Cons

Absolutely no change in SDLC practices while I was there and no conversation about ever doing so from senior management. Each software development team defined its own practices with no commonality across teams whatsoever. No ownership of platform pieces by teams and a firmly stated expectation that each person needed to understand the entire system top to bottom and be able to work on those pieces at the needs of the business leadership at any time. There are over 600 GIT repos! Business owners had no concept of agile software development practices and wanted everything tomorrow with no guarantee that the team assigned the work has ever worked in that space before. It was a crushing mental weight that was only alleviated somewhat by decent PTO and good team managers and very little overtime.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for providing such detailed feedback about your time with Corpay. We are pleased to hear that you found value in the technology stack, appreciated the work-life balance, and felt supported by your immediate managers and team. These are strengths we want every employee to experience. At the same time, we recognize the challenges you’ve described around software development lifecycle practices and organizational structure. We regret any unnecessary stress or inefficiencies these may have caused. We understand that inconsistent approaches across teams, a lack of ownership over specific systems, and the “everyone owns everything” mentality can make it challenging to work efficiently and can lead to unnecessary stress. Your comments on technical debt, process inconsistency, and expectations around agile practices reinforce our unwavering commitment to improvement. They emphasize the importance of enhancing alignment, investing in robust SDLC frameworks, and empowering teams to develop in-depth expertise in their product domains. Your advice about enabling teams to take ownership of specific areas, fostering incremental improvement, and ensuring accountability is particularly valuable. We agree that this kind of focus not only supports efficiency and accuracy but also helps reduce rework and creates opportunities for professional growth. We sincerely appreciate the contributions you made during your time here. Your dedication and insights have been invaluable, and they will continue to inform ongoing improvements in how we support our technology teams. We wish you the very best in your future career endeavors.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear that your local team and immediate colleagues contribute positively to your workday and foster a collaborative spirit—that's something we truly value across Corpay. We also hear your concerns about return-to-office initiatives and the sense of disconnect from broader leadership and business operations. We understand that operating as a large, multinational company presents unique challenges in maintaining a strong sense of alignment and transparency across regions and departments, and we're committed to addressing these challenges. We're actively exploring ways to improve cross-functional visibility and engagement—both virtually and in person—so every team member feels informed, valued, and connected to Corpay's larger mission. Your feedback is essential to helping us get there. We are committed to making these improvements, and we're grateful for your patience and understanding as we work towards a more connected and transparent future.

Pros

Peers are hardworking, loyal, and usually kind.

Cons

- Toxic workplace culture (e.g. asking employees to work overtime and during weekends to meet deadlines). - No time or resources dedicated to improving key issues with databases, architecture, or overall SDLC. - Dysfunctional processes that lead to loss of business clients and high employee churn. - Only practices agile when convenient to middle management. - Managers don't communicate well and aren't encouraged to prioritize their team needs (no one-on-ones, no feedback, limited career growth opportunities). - Team members are constantly putting out fires without considering how to prevent them from happening again. - Limited plans for healthcare, 401k, etc.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for your time with Corpay. We appreciate your recognition of your peers' dedication and professionalism. That spirit of teamwork is something we're proud to see reflected across the company. That said, we're deeply sorry to hear your experience has been affected by the challenges you've described. We understand the impact these issues can have, and we want to assure you that we are taking them seriously. Concerns around communication gaps, workload expectations, lack of one-on-ones, and missed opportunities to improve technical infrastructure and processes are not the standards we strive for. We want to reassure you that we're actively working to address areas like resource allocation, process consistency, and leadership engagement, particularly when it comes to engineering culture. Our goal is to create an environment where every team member feels supported, has a clear growth path, and can contribute to meaningful long-term solutions, not just short-term fixes. Your feedback is guiding our efforts and we are committed to making the necessary changes. Thank you again for your candid input. Your feedback is invaluable and integral to our continuous improvement efforts. It helps us build a better, more sustainable workplace for all.
