Pros

Great location in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Various food options and modes of transportation are close by. I have to fill a 20 word minimum, but for the life of me can't find anything to say.

Kontras

There was a time when I first started, where there was a lot of great things to say about Payfirma. 2 years and $13 Million later, the company has lost its vision and its company culture. They were once the scrappy little company that gave big banks and payment providers a run for their money. Now, Payfirma has been left behind in the FinTech world by its competitors, in terms of service and products offered, and is no position to gain back any traction. The ones in charge let politics and popularity get in the way of what needs to be done to fix things, and are simply not qualified to run the business. I'm no expert at running businesses, but not noticing and moving on trends in the industry, features and products that were promised to users but were never delivered, making decisions like integrating Bitcoin – all point to unqualified. There WERE great people there to work with (and maybe a few left), but most have been laid off, left on their own terms, or are in the process of leaving. Retaining employees is not in their Agenda, and attempts are either too late or awkwardly obvious when there is a rash of turnover. To add to this, Payfirma is too concerned about the money, that it's become pathetic and no longer has any investment in its employees.

Pros

Amazing downtown core location, catered lunches and snacks, beer o' clocks, being around talented ambitious young go getters, startup culture. Most importantly, not working there anymore.

Kontras

Management had unrealistic goals for achieving sales targets. Places blame on employees for not hitting targets when really, they should be evaluating the competitive market space they are in that's responsible for their results. Adequate Help/training wasn't offered when requested. The excessive so called "training" was cost ineffective (waste of money), unnecessary, and inappropriate to the role which is essentially cold calling. Aim for quality of training, not quantity of training in the length of time provided. When asked for help/feedback/support, it was provided very brief and verbally quick so managers can go back to their original tasks. Its as if they give it so they can do a mental checkbox in their heads, yup, I did help out when my subordinate asked. When really, it didn't suffice. Company is full of employees in their early to mid twenties who base their self worth/self esteem as a human being on how much results oriented accomplishments they've created at work so they can get pats on the back from management. Living in a society today with high divorce rates and the lack of strong father power in the family unit, these employees in their twenties and thirties have essentially replaced a father figure in their life with a boss and seek their approval by gladly working long hours to hit sales targets for pats on the back. Creates negative energy in the office. Seems like the only way to keep your job or to get promoted in this company, you need a BCIT cabinet building skill on your resume or have an intimate relationship with the CEO

Pros

- Great perks - salary, overall benefits, educational program and free food - Flexibility was offered depending on your role - Some manager's were amazing to work with and they offered solid solutions

Kontras

- As the reviewer who wrote this review, subject title: "Don't be fooled by this CEO!" - is accurate in their assessment. Majority of these reviews are written by current employee's within the organization or the CEO. This is not displaying a level of transparency or abiding by your corporate values. The overall culture is disgusting - definitely signs of bullying being displayed by senior management, including the CEO. New employee's that were hired that displayed a level of positivity, maturity, solid experience within their field were shortly bullied by senior manager's for being different. Some key senior manager's had their own agenda and they didn't help the organization to progress to the next level. Many great people left on their accordance due to many of these issues that were posted on Glassdoor. Feedback was provided but nothing changed until there were major lay-offs in December 2015.
