Incredible Mauritius office

Pros

This place and its culture together make it a great place to work. The people are generous and always willing to help one another. Even when we face challenging moments, we feel encouraged by the positive and supportive spirit around us.

Cons

From my perspective, there are no major cons. However, I have heard that IT resolution times and overall approach can be slow at times. I’ve also heard that the previous IT team was more knowledgeable and approachable, which left a positive impression. That said, it may simply take some time to fully understand issues and provide effective resolutions.

Pros

- You get to work with really smart, ambitious and talented people which raises the bar for yourself and others - Excellent rigour when it comes to system design and overall technical depth from almost everyone you work with, including product - Excellent office location with great amenities (such as free lunch) and dog friendly

Cons

- Regardless of your pillar or business unit - expect a very top-down, waterfall approach to planning which means rigid estimates and timelines. When the plan inevitably has to shift, it leads to endless trade-off discussions and friction. This leads to burnout and disengagement for many, me included. - Engineering is often tasked with estimating high-level requirements and when larger estimates are provided to account for ambiguity - pressure is applied to reduce them. Though not always unhealthy, the speed and intensity this occurs at Checkout is. - Re-organisation is a common occurrence. Both local (i.e within the pillar/business unit) and within the business. Some people that have worked here for 4 years have seen five or or more team changes - usually (in 90% of cases) not initiated by them. i.e stuff happens to you and you have to deal with it.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you value the calibre of our people, the technical depth of our teams, and the standards we hold across engineering, product, and system design. Working with talented, ambitious colleagues in a high quality technical environment is a core part of what defines Checkout.com. Our pace and ambition require clear direction and disciplined execution, particularly as we operate at scale in a complex and fast-moving industry. This approach enables us to deliver reliably for our customers and continue building a robust global platform. As we grow, we continuously evolve how we plan, organise, and execute to ensure we balance speed, rigour, and long term impact. Change and reorganisation are part of that journey, allowing us to adapt quickly and align teams to where they can make the greatest difference. We appreciate your perspective and the contribution you make to maintaining the high standards that underpin our success.
