Pros

Let's get free food out of the way first, cause that always makes people happy.. Catered lunch every day that's actually really really good. A mix of catered breakfast, yogurt/granola/fruit/oatmeal, or bagels for breakfast depending on the day. Microkitchen (well really just one big kitchen) of various snacks and beverages. I'm definitely fed well :) Culturally, leadership really cares about everyone who works at Venmo. Your thoughts and opinions always matter and will be taken into account in the decision making process. Whether its big or small, brought up in a 1-1 or a company wide team meeting, they'll listen. Venmo is still small enough where each individual person can still make a large impact by themselves and drive the ideas they want to drive.

Cons

* There are growing pains due to the exponential growth of both scaling Venmo as an app and with head count. * Food tends to be on the healthy side. Sometimes I just really want a Coke. Or ice cream.

Pros

People care about the product immensely. Also, WFH 100% is really great as an option.

Cons

PayPal's senior leadership is absolutely clueless on how to move the product forward or grow the company, and this kills the I credible Venmo team's work velocity considerably. Senior leadership also thinks inserting ads everywhere is somehow helpful for the Venmo brand and company as a whole. They (PayPal) just removed sabbatical PTO. Horrendous idea.
