Pros

Coworkers. My direct team and leader are great, smart, caring and wonderful people! Good benefits - like sabbaticals, wellness days etc Ability to work remotely or in the office. Meaningful work.

Cons

Low compensation for tasks/performance. The salary for top performers who have worked at PayPal for years is lower than the starting pay for equivalent roles at other companies. No recent cost of living increases to account for inflation. Year end performance bonuses are primarily given in the form of RSUs with a 3 year vesting schedule. So you won't see a penny for a year and will lose it if you leave before it vests. Poor senior leadership. Frequent re-orgs. No transparency. Executive leadership preaches about core values but their actions directly contradict them. Many in senior and executive leadership roles seem under qualified for their position, lack the appropriate knowledge and communicate poorly.
