Pros

- Diverse working environment. - Casual dress code. - Transportation and shift allowances provided. - Fair wage considering the hours and work-life balance. - Ability to buy PayPal stocks at an employee discount. - Free/subsidized snacks and drinks from the vending machines. - Occasional parties with food and gifts for any cultural celebration. - Freebies such as hoodies, t-shirts, mugs etc.

Cons

- Upward mobility is stagnant. - Employees being shuffled from department to department on the pretext of "upskill" with no change in salary grade and no additional wage. - For executive-level hiring process, the company dismisses previous work experiences that are not in banking/financial services. - Many overqualified employees for the positions they're holding. - Despite the many D & I initiatives, the company can't stop individual employees from being racist/sexist and those who act inappropriately but not outright abusive often go unpunished. There's too much babying of bullies who are treated as if they don't intentionally want to hurt others, and too much focus on victims to alter their own behavior when faced with bullies.
