Pros

Company culture. No other pros now.

Cons

1. No value to employees. Lay off suddenly and access will be removed with immediate effect. 2. Everytime changes will be ongoing with leadership and no work recognition 3. Announce HR policies as they wish at various points 4. Informed that No hikes will be there due to new policies and Bonus also should not expected to be good as share price is not increasing (but work should be taken multiple folds). No hikes is very useless thing but they state we acknowledge your hardwork which actually is not. 5. No promotions since 4years for many teams, just standard hike is being given even with huge work and now with new HR system, only if role expansion is done or take additional responsibility, promotion will be given. Since the managers are in next grade, no room for promotions. Hence, our managers should get promoted and then we might be recommended for promotion. 6. They expect employess to change frequently, learn fastly and work very hard which is also fine but on pay wise, nothing will be given expect the standard and minimum pay compared to industry standards. **As a whole they do not want to give promotions to anyone even the very hardworkers. Just pay as minimum pay as they could and cut all the money from employees. They do not remember employees personal time sacrifice, handling many responsibilities etc. Not Good company for employess at all. I recommend not to join this company.

Pros

PayPal has a lot of potential. It has two very strong brands in PayPal and Venmo with significant awareness and user bases that other companies envy. There are pockets of teams that are really pushing the envelop to reimagine what PayPal and Venmo could be—especially the Venmo team—and to move with speed given the company must stay focused and not waste time with Apple Pay, Shop Pay, and so many other competitors nipping at PayPal's heels and aggressively taking market share.

Cons

While some teams are pushing to self-disrupt and are moving fast, too many teams—and I'd argue the majority of the company–are living off of PayPal's laurels from the late 2010s through the pandemic. The culture and mindset have to change for the company to remain competitive. Otherwise, they are the Titanic and they're sinking slowly. The former CEO who only last 2 years tried diversifying the company's revenue, planning for the future. But the board and its former chairman (now new CEO) felt he wasn't moving fast enough to stabilize and marketshare. Instead, the board hired the former chairman who made computers and printers at HP—another sinking ship—to lead the oldest fintech company. The loss of confidence in the leadership team and the strategy are only accelerating.
