Zettle Reviews

Pros

nothing much to tell about the company

Cons

its a good company i have not received any thing bad

Pros

Mostly good culture and professional team members.

Cons

No career opportunities/ development or investment in employees.

Pros

Great, skilled people in the teams, still wanting to do their best for the customers

Cons

Since PayPal took over everything is changing for the worse. More red tape, everything slows down and has to go through lengthy and ambiguous review processes. Constant re-orgs and strategy changes without involving the people who work with the products. Top-down American micro management and "leaders" who do their best to burn out people with ridiculous demands and deadlines. Attrition is high and some teams are left starved of developers and designers with no chance of backfills.

Pros

Friendly people to work with in an interesting area

Cons

American politics can sometimes be a struggle for an EU employee.

Pros

I worked for Zettle for 6 years. They really put employee wellbeing at the top of their agendas. Great place to work.

Cons

The usual - pay was definitely not in line with market rates but there were other benefits that balanced this.

Pros

Strong product purpose helping small businesses grow.

Cons

Strategic bet deprioritizing what mattered.

Pros

Good compensation Modern tech stack Challenging work Colleagues Diverse

Cons

Overly bureaucratic Authoritarian leadership from PayPal Shrinking due to cutting costs everywhere No “wow” factor anymore

Pros

Previously we had real good leadership on higher level and all colleagues were very engaged and helpful towards each other.

Cons

This has now drastically changed with the new PayPal leadership coming in from Amazon and Klarna starting this fall who are now managing by fear pushing down on the middle mangament. Having no clue themselves. They have clearly reached their level of incompetence and are very hurtful to the entire organisation due to their high position. This behaviour seems to include silent firing and it feels like their goal is to dismantle the Swedish branch altogether. My hope is that this behaviour is realised by true leaders before its too late.

Pros

You get a full training before the start of the Job. Employees from different parts of the world

Cons

I was bullied by the team which made me hate to come to work. Would have been nice if the chat in slack on was somehow monitored

Pros

Gifts and benefits from being a Paypal employee

Cons

No opportunities for progression, Management is not helpful at all, the day to day operations were completely different than what was advertised. Boring, repetitive work and burnt out colleagues.
