Pros

New office as only I can think.Nothing great as such.

Cons

If you love buttering to Manager , then this company is serious Heaven for you.Most of the good work taken by US Team.US teams treats Indian developer like Slaves and even if you do good work, slowly they will take over it and pretend as if they have done the work and you were just fixing or adding small feature.Bad work culture over here.Please don't join until unless you want to waste your life.Lot of firing happens. In Bangalore, you will lot of manager will go to US and book nice hotels and stay over there and visit to multiple cities by company budget and don't allow developer to go to San Jose or even any training or event.Whenever you approach for these thing then they will say "We have budget constraint". Don't trust if they show We are in Top Best Place to Work in India.If you looks stats on Glassdoor or Forbes it don't stand in top 100 also.So please don't trust if they show you or tell you that we are Top Best Place to Work in India.

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.
