Yapstone Reviews

Cons

None they are fair and good to work with.

Cons

Need for process and infrastructure
Goals aren’t always clear

Cons

Training is pretty much "on the fly" - it seems like each person has their own procedures. This makes for inconsistency and the customers do complain.

Cons

- many people not in the right place. My manager (manager for data team) was absolutely not qualified for that job, but it took more than a year for management to admit it. Many more examples.
- there are recognition for small quick changes that are used as an example all the time, but no recognition for really serious changes that have helped to solve gigantic problems. For example, I made database work way better and core processes started working many times faster, but it took me many meeting to push in prod and deploy. And later they pretended that huge improvement they seeing has nothing to do with my work.
- they submit many fake review here.

Cons

People in the upper management are hired because they are part of the clique, and don't have a clue what they are doing. Your achievement is measured based on how close you are to the inner circle, not your contributions. It's real life version of "The Office" and "Silicon Valley". Office managers are weird. HR thrive in the toxic environment.

Cons

Lots of shifting people. Not only in leadership, but also in general population. Collaboration between teams is not the best

Cons

Everything but location Yapstone will wear you out then kick you to the curb, and someone else will take credit for your work. If you are looking for immigration status they may help and keep you there. Indentured servitude seems to be what they like. All of the good, reasonable people move on.

Cons

Awful management that helped personal friends rather then promoting people who actual work hard

Cons

The senior leadership level is old-school, and not in a good way. Think “micromanagent from afar.”

The company is about as flexible as a fossil: PTO is not unlimited, it is rationed unofficially, working from home is discouraged, and generally the company doesn’t live up to the expectations I had for a Bay Area company as such.

Ironically, for execs that haphazardly interfere in your day-to-day, there is no real leadership when you face an actual challenge that requires escalation or executive finesse.

Bonus and comp are not in line with the market actuals I got offered interviewing when I decided to leave.

Promotions and career development are not really a thing here on some teams.

For a payment company, outside of a few key folks there was not much end-to-end depth of understanding of payments, which is ironic.

Cons

Most backward minded company I have ever worked for. The manager, the colleagues, the management, etc. The comp, the benefits, the projects are all a joke. You can do better!
