PayPal reviews

Too much lip service and too few quality managers. Too many architects, directors and VPs. Many projects get started but do not really come to fruition or even road tested. Process heavy and agile practices/expectations misunderstood at many levels. Many leaders do not necessarily understand domains that they own beside how they can take advantage of it to move up/out to the next level. Some key leaders think that PayPal is quite bloated. Even then, whatever the work force that was trimmed in 2012 for PayPal to be lean and fast, the growth in Bangalore and Chennai seems to replace far beyond those numbers. Nepotism and selected consuls seem to exist. Some leaders force fit key roles with people from their previous companies regardless of qualifications. Some San Jose teams seem to be constantly catching up due to difficulties in getting requisitions approved while Bangalore and Chennai seem have problem filling up their requisitions, which no one really questions. Most San Jose folks treat the work-life balance as academics.

1. Micromanagement 2. Managers with no scruples and no technical/people skills 3. No stock plans to make it better
