Pluspunten

there were simply no pros to this situation

Minpunten

I was approached by SumUp on LinkedIn (I curse this day now). I was requested to interview for a Golang role. I successfully passed the take-home challenge and all 4 further interviews. I was given an offer which I signed. At the time I was extremely happy about this. I was genuinely excited about taking on new challenges at what I thought was a great company. I resigned at my previous employer and worked out my notice period. I studied hard to become familiar with SumUp's tech stack so I could hit the ground running on arrival. However, about a week and a bit before I was due to start I was told that I needed to meet to discuss what was referred to as "some noise". In that meeting it was explained to me that SumUp had enforced a hiring freeze and that they did not plan to honour outstanding contracts. So the position I signed for simply no longer existed. My contract was rescinded and I was hung out to dry.

Pluspunten

My time at SumUp as an Account Executive was a truly valuable chapter in my career. From day one, I was impressed by the company’s commitment to its employees — the culture is people-first in every sense. You’re not just a number here; your well-being, development, and growth genuinely matter. One of the key reasons I joined was my manager, AnneMarie. She’s an exceptional leader — intuitive, empathetic, and deeply in tune with her team. Her ability to understand and support people individually created a space where I felt constantly encouraged to grow, even through the natural ups and downs of a sales role. Her leadership was a game changer for me. The role itself isn't easy — as expected in a sales position, you’re responsible for generating your own leads, cold calling, and walking into businesses. What made it all worth it was knowing that leadership at SumUp sees and values hard work and authenticity. When you put in the effort and show up as your genuine self, it’s recognized — and that made a huge difference in my motivation and performance. You are rewarded as well for performance that is solely activity based which was a huge motivator for me in months where I struggled to hit quota or when I first started building my pipeline . Overall, if you're looking for a place where you can grow, be challenged, and be supported by a strong team and inspiring leadership, SumUp is a fantastic place to be. I’m grateful for everything I learned and the relationships I built during my time there.
