Pros

Free lunch, PayPal ESPP program

Cons

People all think they're the best programmers around and that their way of doing things is the only way to do things. Can't discuss differences, must conform.

Pros

Solid pay, free lunch/snacks/breakfast/coffee/etc, nice office, great co-workers, fun atmosphere, lots of opportunity to make impact. Seriously some of the best people I have been around, fun, smart, helpful, and kind.

Cons

Management is at best useless and at worst a hinderance, still figuring out how to manage the team and workflow, no truly senior engineers, product is becoming stale, heavy tech debt slows down development so much that new feature work is difficult to prioritize, health insurance is only okay.

Pros

Out of school it comes off like an up and coming startup. Seems like a fun brand to attach your name to, some of your friends might think it's cool.

Cons

It's all maintenance. There is nothing here inspiring, there's nothing new. Venmo is just PayPal's slave...their office is literally above us and dictates anything we do. There are plenty more successful startups in NYC with actual stock option benefits if you want to apply your abilities.
