PayPal Reviews

Pros

Things move fast but communication is readily available for help or whatever is needed. Engineering culture + product oriented culture has a good mix here

Cons

a lot of stuff is self guided so yes you can ask questions to get yourself going but it really is on you to get yourself up to speed. But this is expected at most jobs anyways

Pros

Balanced Work and life, although depends on the team but the overall culture is really, they do care about you, giving you the freedom to take of yourself and your society together. The PP gives initiative is really great where PayPal matches the amount you donate to a noble cause of your choice. The tech stack and quality of work is up to date with the industry standards and you do get the freedom of trying new things and suggest better solutions. People are really helping here be it new hire training or any support regarding any internal product. You will definitely find a help slack channel for it. Overall as a professional you will grow well here. The leadership is also very supportive they host Ask Me Anything sessions also encourage questions during the All hands session to hear your voice and concerns and the best part is you can go anonymous.

Cons

As with everything there are cons as well. This is a part of our industry it seems, layoffs happen here as well, as the atmosphere is competitive, one has to keep learning and growing to be of value for the organization. However, it does help the person itself in overall growth and development.

Pros

Working in PayPal has been the most exciting stage of my life, and I am thankful to have such a unique experience as a graduate student. PayPal immensely focuses on its values and helps us every step of the way. With the virtual onboarding during the Pandemic and WFH situation, I was initially skeptical about the whole experience and how I would ramp up. But the guidance and support provided by PayPal and the team, including Udemy, Linkedin Learning, and internal Learning portals, helped me so much during the initial few months.PayPal offers many paths to learning from mentors, resources, and day-to-day tasks. The University Hiring team is the best in PayPal. They are so supportive and organize so many fun stuff and team-building activities that release all the stress. I would highly recommend all new graduates out there to apply to PayPal and become part of this fantastic family!

Cons

I wish we had some outdoor meet & greet where we could have a chance to interact. But it's the Pandemic to be blamed!

Pros

PayPal takes great care of employees and mainly listens to the need and adapt accordingly. Always open to change, and feedback. Work-life balance is good. It provides competitive pay and good benefits. It has great perks in respect to discounted stock plan(ESPP), 401K, and unlimited paid holidays. Opportunity for advancement is available and everyone is encouraged with ways to map out and mentored along the way. There are ample learning resources available like LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, O’Reilly, and internal tools. It feels like one team working at PayPal. People have a vision and passion for their work. Management is very supportive and it's a good place to grow in a career. It has one of the best Internship Programs for Undergrads and Grads. Interns get to work on exciting and challenging projects all along with the fun and productive activities planned by University Team.
