Pros

While Teya boasts a modern office environment, the aesthetics often overshadow genuine concerns about workplace culture and employee well-being.

Cons

My tenure at Teya has been profoundly disheartening. In the past year, the company's recurrent layoffs have created an environment rife with insecurity and apprehension. The most troubling aspect, however, is the management's persistent refusal to shoulder the responsibility for these layoffs. Instead of taking ownership, they consistently deflect blame onto employees, perpetuating a cycle of mistrust and disposability. In addition to this, the company's lack of a discernible vision and established processes has only exacerbated the chaos. While Teya prides itself on innovation, this ethos appears conspicuously absent when it comes to valuing and nurturing its employees. Furthermore, it's essential to address the issue of nepotism, which seems to thrive within the company. This nepotistic culture fosters favoritism and undermines the principle of meritocracy. It's evident that professional growth and recognition are often contingent on connections rather than competence, further eroding morale and leaving many feeling overlooked. To sum it up, the recurrent layoffs, evasion of responsibility, lack of a coherent vision, and the presence of nepotism make Teya a deeply disheartening workplace. The company's actions appear at odds with its claims of innovation and excellence in the fintech sector, ultimately detracting from the overall work experience.

Pros

SaltPay has an incredible belief in young talent. Very few companies give so much responsibility to people still early in their careers. Young 20-year-olds are granted guidance from extremely successful directors and are urged to run the business and make mistakes. Everyone has a direct line to Edu and Ali. Weekly all-hands meetings are used for anyone in the company to ask questions for the leaders in a segment called Real Talk. The level of transparency and lack of hierarchy is very high. People are empowered to challenge leadership and present their own data-driven opinions. The lack of hierarchy helps foster fluidity so that people can easily change their priorities and work on new projects that they believe will bring more value.

Cons

Since the mission of serving all SMEs in Europe is extremely challenging it is common to see people working long hours to achieve it. It's not frowned upon to leave work earlier (at 6pm) but the culture is based around getting results done and this means people end up wanting to stay longer in order to deliver.
