Very consavative for technology

CEO approval

Pros

Good coffee, good lunch. You can get a mac as your working laptop (very controversial, though)

Cons

They want to be tech company but seems failing. They don't accept diversity of development but rather requiring fixed mind set. If you want to learn new staff, then it's better not to expect. It's understandable since the company handles payment so it must be very conservative not to break anything. However they're test environment is not really sufficient, it's rather impossible to write even unit tests.
