Growing Pains

Pros

Great benefits, though perks keep being quietly shuffled out over time. Interesting and challenging tech problems due to the rapid growth of the company. Amazing and smart people to work with.

Cons

Upper management has become increasingly heavy handed as the company's intense growth puts more burden on the bottom line. New leadership is much more interested in keeping the people above them happy then taking basic care of employees. Work-life balance has taken a huge downturn as company commitments take center stage. This means lots of decisions handed down from on-high and autonomy/input-power being taken away from the people actually building the product. Almost all senior roles and long-time employees have turned over within the past year. Leadership makes a big show of "listening" but hasn't show any actual response / change / action from what they're being told. Culture as a whole has taken a huge hit as the people who most actively worked to nurture the community got burnt out and left. Naturally things like diversity have taken a hit as there's less focus on making a welcoming, inclusive workplace, and things are increasingly siloed across teams.

Pros

Great benefits - paid public transportation, catered food, stock bonus and regular bonus. Allows you to have a great work like balance.

Cons

At one point, it was a start up. Things have changed as expected for considering it is a startup however now that Venmo is the beast that it is - rules have been inforced. If you don't like change or to comply with the rules - may not be the place for you.

Pros

The benefits. But when you think about it that's thanks to PayPal sooooo...

Cons

I've been with the company for less than 6 months and everything they sold me on has changed. One of the managers is a passive aggressive bully and they other one is never there. I left a job making more money because I thought this would be a less stressful environment but this is not it. You're chained to your laptop and now chained to your desk. Certain jobs a half hr lunch is doable. This is not one of them. When I first started the schedules were evenly broken up between the 3 channels and that was fine. Now your schedule is majority the most or the 2 most stressful channels. Since no longer being able to work in the common areas and the increase in the 2 channels, I've had 4 anxiety attacks. It's not work it.
