If you are considering joining Payoneer, RUN FAR AWAY. It is simply irresponsible that they are still hiring considering recent events. I was deceived by the energetic, young company vibes when in reality, it is stuffier than an old bank and has even more issues:
1. Beware the company that talks about how great the culture is, and how much they collaborate and support each other. The backstabbing and smack-talking were endless here.
2. Senior leaders are often hostile, clueless, awkward, or all of the above. Bullies are allowed to thrive. Favoritism, fear, and negativity rule the office. Most leaders spend their time writing self-aggrandizing posts on LinkedIn.
3. Coworkers are aggressive, territorial, and immature. Many never emotionally matured past high school. Tons of drama and pettiness, few adults in the room. Zero people skills.
4. Customers hate the platform. It is posted all over social media, under LinkedIn posts and Reddit, about how accounts are frozen for 2+ months. These are small business owners who can be put out of business without access to funds. This alone made me feel ashamed to work here.
5. For a global company, they have no idea how to work globally. Most calls were in the morning and at night, and then coworkers manufacturing drama during the day. I was frequently working Sun to Fri, 7am to 11pm, and then was told I’m not doing enough.
6. Decisions and delivery are concentrated in Tel Aviv. The New York office gets very butthurt about it and then tries to shake things up. This results in unnecessary chaos.
7. The company lacks strategic direction overall and will utter the same mumble jumble over and over. Delivery is confusing on an incoherent strategy that is supported by inconsistent data. Many teams are just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
8. For a cross-border company, they are not able to sufficiently address current global economic events or restore shareholder confidence, as reflected in the dipping stock price.
In summary, there is not enough free lunch or snacks in the world to tolerate the toxicity at Payoneer.
