Green Dot Reviews

Pros

Pay is good nice location

Cons

Heavy load. Competitive work. outsourcing

Pros

*Got to work on some pretty good payment solutions *Great technology team * The idea of BaaS platform is a great idea. Disbursement platform is a money earner *The organisation has been through worse phases earlier and come out good

Cons

*Product team rules are the roost. They treat technology team like dirt. *Recent change in leadership. They are just focused on getting brownie points of wall street. Laid off huge workforce in US. And moving jobs to Shanghai , China *They do not value the quality of work. The top management does not understand the ground realities. * WLB is bad for technology teams. Unrealistic deadlines. Too much interference from Product teams.

Pros

Lots of movement and new technologies

Cons

Disorganized. Too many projects and priority swapping. Software design not taken seriously and done on the fly.

Pros

Good benefits , healthcare plan , 401 plan

Cons

frequent changes in management & people

Pros

No Pros at all - if you really want growth in your career specifically tech guys, never stay here! Better join company where your skills and knowledge is appreciated and worthwhile!

Cons

They let people go without any warnings! Too much politics - I have seen some of brightest minds who were in company since 9-10 years, being laid off without any notice, warnings! Now people are struggling - and system is collapsing! CEO already announced no bonuses / no hikes while they expect you to work like one man army! Every developer I know have been working like a task force and doing job for at least 2 - 3 people! Highly insecure and pressurized job! No technology growth or innovation! No matter how much company makes or how many new partners it gets, appreciation never goes to employees - only goes to management!

Pros

There are some good people there.

Cons

So many SVPs last about a year and then move on. It's hard to complete longer-term projects since the next SVP often will scrap current projects and build their own department (with new employees) to stake their claim. Shifting priorities make for a frustrating job experience.

Pros

Work life balance is good

Cons

If they fire you, there would prob be no warning. We get that the new leadership (CEO) care about performance. That’s why suddenly a lot of people got fired with no warning. Then we learned that more firings might happen and we’re constantly evaluated for our performance. In my personal opinion, I feel threatened that if I’m not careful I’ll get fired. Our evaluation is heavily based on our direct manager. If you don’t please your manager, feels like you’ll lose your job. Just like that. No warning. Seems like they’re firing people in waves. My speculation. Sorry but this is the kind of pressure that’s not necessary when we are already stressed during this pandemic. While other companies are assuring employees that they’re trying the best to pay every employee, Green Dot is here stressing people out with mass performance based firings. They have stressed that those were not cost saving layoffs. They’re also hiring replacements. Time to peace out. ✌️ Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and does not reflect company values.
