Pros

- free catered meals daily - gorgeous work space - weekly in-office happy hour

Cons

- stuffy environment - culture is confusing ... there are tons of former finance leaders who transitioned over to tech when they came to PayPal, but have brought old practices and outdated values with them - NO diversity - egos and entitlement are a major issue ... people don't give you the time of day unless they consider you to be important enough or you have a "respectable" title - constant org changes and managers who are looking out for themselves, not what's best for their teams

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
