A truly wonderful company - Anonymous employee KeyPay Employee Review

Lots of pros when compared to other companies I have worked at. Culture wise there is no place like KeyPay. Everyone gets along. That is one of the biggest strengths of the team. Management aren't breathing down your neck or actively taking over. They are extremely easy-going and approachable. Dev-wise, the approach can be summed up as pragmatic and the structure is fairly flat. The decisions of the team are discussed together for short amounts of time before a sensible decision is made. There are no 2 hour meetings to discuss what can be discussed in 10 minutes. Sometimes we decide to add 2 more weeks of dev time... sometimes 4 more weeks of dev time. In either case, there is rarely a need to rush your work. You aren't expected to implement the SOLID principles to a tee in every part of your work. You won't be whipped for not following a Red-Green-Refactor TDD approach. You aren't expected to know everything. Asking questions is encouraged and trying to be a 10x engineer/rockstar dev is discouraged. On the other hand, the team do expect a certain level of ability and clean code. There are code reviews but these aren't as thorough and in-depth as I have experienced in other jobs which is quite refreshing. If these sound like cons to you then I'm glad we don't work together :)

I can't think of any cons. The only one that comes close, is that remote work isn't for everyone, but for me and my current personal life situation its perfect. Depending on location, there are offices/share spaces where some colleagues work if that is more for you.

It is such a lovely environment working at KeyPay. The business model is sound, the founders are wonderful people and care about their employees, we have a lot of autonomy to contribute to the business, we care about each other, we look after our partners and clients and there is a lot of mutual respect there. This is certainly a people business and I love my job and love working with the bosses and team here. We get the job done and we have a lot of fun along the way. If you need guidance in your role all you need to do is ask for it and the founders/management are there to support you. We have a nice balance of being able to work from home but also head into the office. I'm very happy at KeyPay.

Remote working isn't for everyone but the business does give us the flexibility with a couple of offices available which some of us use frequently. It would be great to see colleagues more often. No cons really.
