Pros

free lunch, perks, nice office views

Cons

Raised too much money and will never achieve its last private valuation, forget about IPO anytime soon even though all interviewees are led to believe IPO is around the corner. Clown show internally with very high executive turnover. Exec team is always on some wasteful useless travel to some international office or conference only to pontificate about cost cuts and repeated layoffs. Sales/GTM teams run the show in the US so you have to be on good footing with them to do anything. A lot of red tape and bureaucracy to do basic things. CKO is masquerading as a 'tech' company but is a glorified support shop for Crypto and NSFW merchants. Not a very impressive merchant base/pipeline.

We're glad that you appreciated some of the perks we offer to our employees including free lunches and a brilliant office space in a great location.

Pros

Good salary, thats about it

Cons

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
