How do employees feel about the referral program at PayPal?
Pros
**Used** to be a very good company. Work life balance decent.
Cons
1. New hires get more salary even with lower experience. 2. Lot of re-orgs hamper your growth. 3. Rules are on paper and managers or directors apply rules according to their own choice - be it for promotion or project assignments. 4. Fire culture. Not given prior info to improve performance, rather people get fired at whim of management. 5. As lot of management folks hired from outside over last 4-5 years, the culture has gone for a toss because of them carrying their bad legacy from past companies. 6. Referrals - lot of nepotism, lack of transparency and fake rejection points. Because the managers and directors all want to earn referral bonus. My experience - candidates with very good interviews rejected without reasonable explanation, referrals not getting the calls most of the times, but if you apply in LinkedIn directly, you get the call for same job. 7. Managers don't help in your career growth. Either you become politically active to know what projects you should take or you are doomed. 8. Promotions very tough for existing employees. If you have other company offer letter, you get promo easily at cost of other loyal employees who did not give interviews outside. 9. Core principles - only INCLUSION is what is trending around the world matters here now. 10. Not uniformly judgement to all. 11. Even Directors bar a few have biased views and dont think about people working under them. Selfish.
Advice to Management
Be impartial and helpful. Stop your bad management. Be a leader who defends and leads the team. Do pranayama.
Because the managers and directors all want to earn referral bonus.
