Pros

- I thankfully didn’t get laid off

Cons

- I now have the looming threat of being laid off, because CEO said the layoffs happened without regard for performance or impact to teams. Some very high performers with ownership of projects were let go without warning in a 7% layoff at the beginning of 2023. Happy new year.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, great office in San Jose

Cons

Some of the things I experienced in my 5 months at PayPal - 3 different managers - 4 different organizational heads - One boss that was verbally abusive - One organizational leader who told me to 'sit tight and wait' for an updated job description - One boss who told me to stay quiet about the amount of work I had on my plate (zero) because of office politics - Same boss cautioned me about reaching out to others in my organization to lend a hand, because of office politics

Pros

The company gives out 2 wellness days a year, which well needed with the stress this job brings

Cons

This company is all about metrics, it’s exhausting to be micromanaged constantly for Venmo errors
