Business Outlook

Pros

Good transparency in the organization. Smart engineers. Good products. Enjoyable work environment. Pair programming and TDD with good benefits and incredible work life balance.

Cons

PayPal has increased its control over Braintree and more of the bureaucracy is creeping into the daily life of being an engineer. They don't do a great job of training hires who don't have a natural proclivity for the type of work Braintree does. Training is pretty much 100% on the job which can leave some people behind.
