Pros

Good benefits and work from home for those looking for that but that is about it.

Cons

The moment their stocks went from about $95 a stock to over $300 a stock they no longer care about the employee but about the stock holder. They talk about about caring about your health and financial wellness but this is simply no true. They have changed stats to make it where the only thing that matters is how many customers you help, more of quantity over quality. They release products that are not completed and leave front line employees to deal with the issues and the angry customer. We are not allowed to hang up on abusive customers but only report them after the call. You can literally have every number great but if your handle time is bad you will get fired. They do not care if you have the best knowledge of any customer service agent in your team or how happy you keep customers, if your handle time is high you will get fired. They will also blame you for technical issue with the equipment provided to you. If the laptop given to you is so slow that your calls keep dropping or it add to your handle time with a customer, guess what? It is your fault. When you contact IT to solve any issues, it never gets solved but because of this you are not able to work, guess what? It's your fault. When it comes to moving up in the company, hiring is about how much you are liked by the hiring manager vs how much you qualify for the position. I have 6 years of sales experience however the people that got the sales jobs have none yet were cool with the managers, same as supervisor positions. PayPal no longer cares about their employee or truly assisting customer, I no longer even use PayPal for my own business. They talk about inclusion yet it seems odd that a lot of the people being let go seem to be people of color, maybe Mr. Schulman should take a look at that before yelling out that his company embodies inclusion. If you care about your sanity and your mental health please avoid this place like COVID. I became suicidal because everything was our fault and never GCS upper management that I am pretty certain they have never ever worked front line a day in their life.

Pros

1. Free cabs. Nothing else. nothing else. 5 words complete.

Cons

1. Bangalore facility & management team is the worst. The cafeteria vendor is completely waste & corrupt. Bangalore management does not take employee feedback seriously. 2. Food is bad & comparatively costly. I saw them reducing the quantity every day. 3. Work was ok. 4. Bangalore management is not aligned with 'Wellness' value of PayPal, people talk about it but no one cares about it. Food is the biggest proof of it. Unhealthy food served with pride. 5. Secluded office location. 6. Politics in team. 7. No free snacks, even they put only very limited quantity( around 20 pieces for 200 people ) banana, butter milk everyday, once finished, you can't get more. 8. Extreme level of cost cutting, cheapness around in the Bangalore office. 9. Overall, it's not a great company, just works like a bigger start up with extremely low quality engineering & management. Hiring bar is very low in almost all teams. 10. Bad behaviour of cafeteria staffs as if the food is free & you are on their mercy. 11. MANAGEMENT IGNORES EMPLOYEE FEEDBACK & CONSTANTLY LIES.

Pros

Only salary. Nothing else.

Cons

PayPal goes big on their values, one which is "Wellness". Once you join PayPal(especially if they force the graveyard shift on you) your life will go haywire. People working in the graveyard shifts do not have proper food in the canteen and decent facilities. Due to "business requirements" there are no activities conducted. Managers are being recruited from small vendor companies, who are trying to bring in the BPO culture. The only answer management has to everything is "Business requirements". Sudden change in shift? Business requirement. Cannot take a break? Business requirement. Cannot take a scheduled team meeting? Business requirement. The only way to get through is by butter the Team Leader and the Group Leader.
