Ventajas

The one consistently positive part of my experience are the people. My colleagues are incredibly smart, skilled, and capable. Working alongside such talented professionals has been one of the few bright spots here, and the team is full of individuals who genuinely care about their work and about supporting each other.

Desventajas

One of the most troubling aspects of working here is the constant threat of being fired under the guise of "poor performance". In my experience, only a small fraction of those let go were actually poor performers. The majority of the people being fired were hardworking professionals, and it feels like the company is actively looking for a reason to let people go. I've personally been asked whether I think certain colleagues should be fired, which makes the environment feel very toxic and unnecessarily stressful. Giving negative feedback is strongly encouraged. The workload is overwhelming, and burnout is common. I’ve seen colleagues struggle to maintain a work-life balance because expectations are unrealistic, and there’s always more work piled on. Many people work even during vacations and sick days. This has led to a declining quality of the product. We constantly see clients complaining. Managers track everything: when you arrive, when you leave, how long your breaks are, even the smallest details of your daily routine. It creates an environment where employees feel like they’re not trusted and are constantly under surveillance, which only adds to the stress and discomfort of the workplace. Salaries used to be competitive, but that is no longer the case. It’s been made clear that pay raises are tied to the company’s business performance, and given the the poor business performance, salary increases are practically non-existent. Finally, considering that the company insists on everyone working in the office, you'd expect the office environment to be more appealing. However, there's not even basic perks like free fruits or snacks, which are a standard at most companies.

Ventajas

Working at Payhawk means being part of a fast-moving scaleup where growth comes naturally if you take ownership. Responsibility isn’t something that’s handed down slowly — it’s there from day one, and those who embrace it quickly see opportunities to grow their impact and career. One of the biggest strengths of Payhawk is the team. You get to work alongside highly skilled and motivated colleagues who set the bar high, and that makes every day a chance to learn and improve. The company is deeply data-driven, which means decisions are based on facts and outcomes rather than opinions or politics. That clarity helps us focus on the right priorities and move fast. Innovation isn’t just encouraged — it’s expected. Every day brings new challenges, and you have both the chance and the duty to find creative solutions that shape how we scale. At the same time, Payhawk takes care of its people: the salary and benefits package is extremely fair, and the culture makes sure that everyone — no matter their role or title — has a voice and can influence the direction of the company.

Desventajas

As a scaleup in a highly competitive market, Payhawk is not the place for people who want to lean back and ride the wave. It requires energy, ownership, and resilience — but for those who thrive in that kind of environment, it’s a very rewarding place to be.
