My name is Jake and I have been working at Payt as a backend developer for about two years now. As a backend developer, I mainly focus on writing new features and improving existing ones. Additionally, I regularly review the code of colleagues.
At first, it took some getting used to, as is always the case when you start working at a new company. I noticed that everyone seemed to be working very independently and in their own little bubble. However, after a few days at Payt, I thought very differently about this. It seems like everyone is working on a separate project, but everyone functions like a cog in a machine. One project connects to another, and in the meantime, ideas are exchanged, and people constantly try to improve and elevate each other to a higher level. Everyone, of course, has their own expertise and strengths, but if someone else has a good idea, it is listened to. The only thing that matters is what the best outcome is, which ultimately results in a very high-quality application.
So, it’s a well-oiled machine, but is it also a nice company to work for? Absolutely! The best part is that you can largely determine your own schedule. It’s no problem to work from home for a day or start later if it happens to suit you better that day. You know what you need to do, but you can decide when and how you do it.
Finally, Payt is also a very friendly and social group. In between the hard work, there is always time for a chat, to outdo each other with pull-ups, or for a game of darts. Additionally, there is a communal lunch every day, and birthdays are briefly celebrated together. If you want even more fun, there’s the Friday afternoon drinks.
If I had to describe Payt briefly, I would say professional, high quality, yet very social. It’s impressive what has been achieved in just 10 years. I am proud to say that I am now part of this amazing team and contribute to the success of Payt as a company.
