Like others said, worst experience of my life.
Pros
The benefits were decent. You will get exposure to the payments industry, good place to experience and then move on. I will say the recent changes in executive management at the C level has been good,
Cons
Where to start, there are so many. You don't get elected as one of the top 10 worst places to work in silicon valley if you are treating your employees well. -Turn over rate is obscene over 200% now. -Severe understaffing across company and then they recently did a layoff. No job security. -Recent changes in the senior leadership team in MSO went from bad to much much worse. -The entire project management team recently left all in the same week, couldn't get out quick enough... -You will get booked on multiple projects for 100% utilization. I am booked on 3 projects for 100% of my effort, so i am literally booked out for 24 hours a day, and they expect you to work that much! -Office politics worse i've ever seen. You spend the bulk of your day just trying to make sure you are neutral enough to not get fired.. -New leadership team loves to threaten to fire people.. Almost in every meeting. -Company culture is such you are expected to work 24 hours a day, otherwise you are not "passionate" that is the "Verifone way" -Unethical leadership in many areas. -Worst time off policy i've ever seen. They FORCE you to take 10 of your 15 days at July 4th week, and Christmas week, you have no choice they tell you when to take your vacation!!! -No respect for project managers. -No tools to properly do your job. Simple tools you would expect, ITIL suite, or even software to backup systems are always "going to happen next month" -Never worked for a company that cared as little about employees as this company, if I was "just a number" that would of been a step up! -All day you are put in no win situations, spend time doing due diligence and you get yelled at for not working fast enough, cut back on due diligence you get yelled at for not doing it. You never have the time to do what you need . You can't make people happy. -Multiple employee surveys have highlighted work life balance as an issue, promises to fix the issue go unanswered, instead they lay people off. HR might as well not even exist. -Salaries are below market rate, and attempts internally are to reduce it even farther, multiple recruiting vendors have refused to place candidates with Verifone anymore. -Used to be able to work from home, not anymore, no real reason given. -Severe micromanagement you will get ridden 24x7 No amount of money is worth working at this place. About to leave, about the entire department is on their way out again.
