      Mixed, but there's no future for PayPal

      Pros

      There are some amazing engineers here. They are nice and very knowledgable.

      Cons

      The company itself as a whole sucks. The management sucks completely. The only thing PayPal is good for is the PayPal mafia/strong brand name that comes with it. It's subsidiaries Braintree, Venmo, and Xoom are more exciting places to work for.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I spent the first 3 years of my tenure at PayPal in tech and wholly agree that we have some amazing engineers who are nice and extremely knowledgeable. I am also really bummed to hear that you believe the whole company sucks. And on this point I don’t agree. I’m sure we have some pockets of the organization that need improvement and some managers who need coaching as leaders. We’re committed to identifying these areas and working with leadership to improve them. Hearing the voice of the employee is an important step in giving us the information we need to address the issues. I thank you for feedback.

      Pros

      Got to explore all the roles good agile methodology practice constant transformation to latest tech , which makes us to get an opportunity to carry work to the next place.

      Cons

      India offices do get second priority. Someone from the SJC Office might take credit for your work when not safe guarded.

      Thank you for taking time and writing your review about PayPal. Glad to know that you enjoyed working at PayPal. The India campus is a strategic part of the PayPal mission and vision. It has many areas of delivery ownership and also local leaders driving to deliver on our vision to democratize money and provide access to the financial markets to all people, not just the affluent. PayPal is creating centers of excellence in each location to tap the talent and provide a challenging work in all locations. The India campus is one of the important centers for PayPal and the team here delivers great work which is very well recognized by the PayPal leadership team.
