Pros

definign the future of payments, with a global scale great people genuinely trying hard to re-connect with more innovative and startup-ish culture

Cons

no clear priorities make execution a giant challenge poor culture of crossfunctional collaboration. If you can be self-sustaining, then you can suceed, if you need other teams to support, then very hard. makign crossfunctional decisions is really hard. while CEO David Marcus has left and not (yet) be replaced, the organization's challenges are multiplied.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
