Pros

Great brand with global recognition. People at all levels are polite and respectful. Interesting future in the payments industry. Most employees allowed to work from home.

Cons

There are many great people in the HR organization but the senior leadership tends to promote and provide opportunities to only a few select employees; other HR employees do not gain exposure or opportunities. In my opinion, HR promotions are not based on skills and qualifications, merely favoritism.
