Pros

Great benefits - paid public transportation, catered food, stock bonus and regular bonus. Allows you to have a great work like balance.

Cons

At one point, it was a start up. Things have changed as expected for considering it is a startup however now that Venmo is the beast that it is - rules have been inforced. If you don't like change or to comply with the rules - may not be the place for you.

Pros

People care about the product immensely. Also, WFH 100% is really great as an option.

Cons

PayPal's senior leadership is absolutely clueless on how to move the product forward or grow the company, and this kills the I credible Venmo team's work velocity considerably. Senior leadership also thinks inserting ads everywhere is somehow helpful for the Venmo brand and company as a whole. They (PayPal) just removed sabbatical PTO. Horrendous idea.
