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. We appreciate you sharing this and we wish you all the best in your next chapter.

Pros

Fully support on AI Agent development. Free lunch

Cons

Heavy company politics. Had comments based on filename and pr format. People get fired with a reason of unclear agenda description on meetings.

Pros

- pay is just about aligned with industry standard - sometimes the snacks are good

Cons

- just announced that due to increased headcount in london office, tech employees have to come in on Tuesday, wednesday and Friday instead of Tuesday-thursday. Doing this without prior warning or discussions shows a complete lack of respect for current employees. Its like they don't care about people who have to make childcare or travel arrangements. Surely the sensible thing to do is to reduce the number of office days for everyone instead of making everyone upend their lives again - as an engineer, it feels like most of my time is spent either migrating between different tools/tech stacks, depending on the whims of senior leadership or trying to detangle the spaghetti like dependencies between different teams in order to implement the most simple features. If you want to work somewhere where you can grow your skills as an engineer, look elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your tenure with us. We recognise that changes to ways of working, including office expectations, can have an impact. These decisions are made to support how we collaborate and operate effectively as a business and we aim to provide clarity as we evolve. As an engineering organisation, we operate at pace, which includes evolving our tooling, systems and structure to meet business needs. This can be complex, but it reflects the scale and ambition of what we’re building. We appreciate you sharing your perspective.
