Pros

Decent benefits, for the most part, smart people.

Cons

Extremely political. There is a certain race that will only hire others of their race... because of the stack rankings, they look out for their friends. If you are not one of those ppl, you get screwed during reviews. Most of the people that are doing this don't even see anything wrong with "looking out for their friends".

Dying culture and company

Pros

Lots of great people are still working here for now, until they can find something better or new leadership eliminates them as part of their business "strategy." Used to have great culture and be genuinely customer-centric before new leadership wrecked this. Remote work flexibility and decent pay.

Cons

New leadership is reckless, cruel, and incompetent. Constant layoffs (some acknowledged publicly, some secret), hypocrisy, gaslighting, total lack of empathy, and continual poor business decisions. We've laid off many of our top performers to get "lean,” only to add dozens of new VP and Director roles that previously didn't exist ... New leadership seems to have no clue what they're doing and cares more about moving the stock price $1-$2 short term than employee retention, engagement, or livelihood or longer-term business success. Nobody I've talked to enjoys working here anymore or has any semblance of psychological safety. Company is a sinking ship, and everyone still here seems to be looking for other opportunities.

Pros

Not much, ok benefits but there are still far better options. Most employees think the benefits are great because they're fed that by PayPal executive leadership.

Cons

Working for PayPal is like being in an abusive relationship. They build tou up, lie, tell you what they think you want to hear. Then they lay off a ton of people, put more work on you for no additional pay, and promote the do-nothings in NY. Horrible leadership brought over by Dan from Amex. Now that there is a new CEO they should clean house of these idiots that tore the company to shreds. Give them a taste of their own medicine. Besides, they gave themselves their own golden parachutes so they won't even care.
