Pros

Growing company, likely to spin off as a Bank, nice facility, benefits were a good deal, flexible work situation depending on your group. Better than ebay.

Kontras

Sweatshop mentality, very high turnover in my team. 3 managers in 6 months, priorities and responsibilities constantly changing. Team was very clique-ish to outsiders/newbies. Manager was more interested in her own career, terrible at motivation, communication. There is a tendency to treat engineers/people like interchangeable work units. I landed into a team that was in a lot of churn, fraught with political upheaval and was very clannish . Not much support for the new employee - basically dropped into the deep end without much assistance and left to navigate on my own. Was warned about that, but very stressful regardless. Reviews of new employees don't seem to account for the fact that the learning curve is very steep.

Pros

PayPal has a lot of potential. It has two very strong brands in PayPal and Venmo with significant awareness and user bases that other companies envy. There are pockets of teams that are really pushing the envelop to reimagine what PayPal and Venmo could be—especially the Venmo team—and to move with speed given the company must stay focused and not waste time with Apple Pay, Shop Pay, and so many other competitors nipping at PayPal's heels and aggressively taking market share.

Kontras

While some teams are pushing to self-disrupt and are moving fast, too many teams—and I'd argue the majority of the company–are living off of PayPal's laurels from the late 2010s through the pandemic. The culture and mindset have to change for the company to remain competitive. Otherwise, they are the Titanic and they're sinking slowly. The former CEO who only last 2 years tried diversifying the company's revenue, planning for the future. But the board and its former chairman (now new CEO) felt he wasn't moving fast enough to stabilize and marketshare. Instead, the board hired the former chairman who made computers and printers at HP—another sinking ship—to lead the oldest fintech company. The loss of confidence in the leadership team and the strategy are only accelerating.
