      Proud to work for Checkout.com

      Pros

      Since I started at Checkout.com, I have had endless opportunities to learn, develop and grow my current skill set, as well as work on multiple projects that are outside the realm of my day-to-day job. This has added variety and depth to my current role and has been fully supported and encouraged along the way. Another thing that I love about Checkout.com is that regardless of title, you are encouraged to share your ideas, think outside of the box, try new things and challenge the status quo. I feel lucky to work for such a people-focused, forward-thinking, cohesive and inclusive company who adhere to their values. Would highly recommend!

      Cons

      Not really a con, but turbocharged growth comes with its own challenges such as changeability.

      Software Engineer aka Business Analyst/QA/SCUM Master! The most disrespectful job to the Software Engineering profession

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not much appart from a good kind CEO.

      Cons

      Being a developer at Checkout.com was one of the biggest disappointments, and disrespectful jobs for the Software Engineering profession. Its been exhaustive and misleading job! As a software engineer you need to be a Business Analyst/Product Analyst/QA /Scrum Master run scrum ceremonies which was never part of any software engineer job description they had. Specifically they want Software Engineers to do jobs like requirement gathering, write user stories and run scrum ceremonies. In case you wonder YES you read correctly, everything needs to be done by developers. Developers need to code/code review/ prepare for running scrum ceremonies like refinement meetings/ prepare user stories/ run retrospectives/ run standups/ do testing / write confluence documentation. What made a really BAD impression is the fact that you could be told of on top of that because for example u didn't run the refinement meeting as good as Business Analyst would run it. It sometimes made me wonder why any of the above is a developmers work anyways, and are the current Analysts actually doing? That is due to the fact the company started a small startup and the current managers and team leads, are ineperienced, uneducated and HAVE BIG EGOS and don't have the mindset of big software companies. They should at least listen if they want to grow. You cannot outwork Software Engineers like that because you lose valuable talent. There should be a fine line between Software Developers/ Analysts/ Product Owners/QAs. Bottom lin: Bad Management, Inexperienced Team Leaders Big Egos from fish in small pond who became suddenly big.

      Dear colleague, Thank you for your review. After receiving your comments I met with several of our technical leads to ensure we could reply with a comprehensive answer. In response to your frustrations around your responsibilities whilst at Checkout.com, we do expect our software engineers to make active contributions to the products they are developing. In fact, some of our best product initiatives come from our engineers. We would expect any software engineer to test and validate their code through automated testing and we have Devops engineers to help with these systems. Documentation is an essential tool in contributing to a collaborative effort between engineering / product and other teams. On occasion engineers may take turns in running a stand-up, we feel this gives them a sense of ownership and pride in what they and their team are building, along with developing leadership skills. When it comes to developing our managers, in the past few months we have launched a new, tailored leadership programme to help even our most experienced managers to continue improving. We have also introduced upward-manager reviews into our annual review process, giving us a truly 360 degree feedback system. Ultimately, creating a workplace in which all of our team members feel they are able to thrive and do their best work is of fundamental importance to us, so we take your words very seriously. We are sorry about your experience and would welcome the opportunity for an open and honest discussion if you are open to it. Best wishes, Louis

      Pros

      - An energetic and passionate team - Our core values represent what we stand for and guide the team and the business - An open culture where I feel confident to speak up with my ideas and opinions - it’s the first company I’ve worked at where I feel I can truly be myself - Our portfolio of products is dynamic and we are able to create real impact in our industry - A highly supportive environment - I never feel I have to face a challenge alone

      Cons

      - Reasonably heavy workload - As Checkout.com is rapidly scaling, you need to be ready to roll your sleeves up!
