Pros
PayPal is full of smart people with a lot of opportunity to learn about payments Over the years the company has done a lot of things right but has also missed the boat on a few things Company took great care of people during the pandemic Very proactive when it comes to things like inclusion and social issues Its an amazing place to be if you're in a part of the company that is growing and you have a manager that is visible
Cons
Lots of the usual big company deadwood VPs are out of touch with their teams and mostly concerned with growing their own careers, managing up or looking out for themselves. You need a mentor or a sponsor for your career to grow at PayPal The current org structure with Product and Engineering having separate reporting lines is detrimental to collaboration and decision making The company has no appetite for risk, innovation or thinking 3-5 years down the line. Decisions are near-sighted. Leaders are not held accountable
