Pros

I absolutely love working at Global Payments. The culture and vision alignment is exciting and I am so proud to work here.

Cons

Sometimes we move so quickly that it becomes overwhelming and things can be missed.

Pros

Let’s be plain here. The reason you’re visiting this site is that you’re interested in Global Payments for one reason or another. If you read the reviews, you will notice a clear pattern: 1) An actual employee posts a scathing criticism of the toxic culture at Global Payments. 2) A member of Human Resources or one of their lackeys writes a ham-handed review painting a picture of unicorns and rainbows. 3) Rinse and repeat. Here’s the scoop. Global Payments demolishes culture and morale. Ask AuctionPay. Ask Accelerated Payments. Ask PayPros. Ask Ezidebit, RealEx, FSI Gaming, eWay, Active Network or AdvancedMD. Global is like the Borg (Resistance is Futile). Of course, if you ask these companies, you won’t get an honest answer. Why? Because every person with honesty, integrity and creativity was forced out, leaving Global’s ideal employee – a “jump, how high” minion living in constant fear of being shown the door by a company with enough soulless lawyers to have mastered at-will employment (we’ll fire you when we want for whatever reason we want, so don’t step out of line.). If you’re considering employment with Global or one of their subsidiaries, don’t. That is, unless you desire a career consisting of meek servitude to a leadership caste who says all the right things, yet does none of them. There are many companies who value intelligence, guts and free thinking… but Global ain’t one of them.

Cons

Move along, nothing to see here. Aannnddd... Now HR posts an obviously phony post about "amazing people" and "great career growth" in a desperate attempt to bury the authentic reviews,

Pros

Everyone is very nice and polite in person. The projects are interesting and the technology is sharp

Cons

These guys will call you on nights and weekends even if you're not on-call. There's very little respect for personal space, mental health, recovery time. They will call you to join meetings on your vacations and if you don't answer your phone keeps ringing. 2 weeks vacation, limited sick time, weekend work, every day over time The India teams are horrible. To the extent they are all negligent level Everyone talks very polite and nice but they act like they completely own you and your time. They really like h1b visa guys because if they don't act like slaves they can send them back right away. Even worse if you work under one of the h1b guys, because they will squeeze all they can out of you if they're in a bind. They get sent back home if they don't deliver. Everything about this company was completely contrary to their motto of our people come first. Everything was about growth and people really didn't respect boundaries, here salaried means unlimited overtime benefits to the company, you are owned.
