Pros

Great people, lots of opportunity for those in engineering.

Cons

Not much opportunity for those outside engineering- seems like most folks are getting laid off for their jobs to be outsourced. Many folks have left or been laid off recently and they aren't getting backfilled, leaving us with double or triple the work with no extra pay (& the pay is already bad).

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.
