Minpunten

The atmosphere is horrible. If you are not the standard SJW but have a brain like James Damore you will not like it, or succeed here. You get taught about the wage gap and how women are oppressed in society.... I mean I am almost 40 years old, a woman and call BS on all of that. If you don't buy into it and you voice that opinion you are basically not a fit for the culture and your career will die. I have been working for PayPal for 10 years and it was a great place when I first started but management is too afraid to say what they think and keeps pushing the SJW agenda. People are being promoted because they scream the loudest and not because they work the hardest. Soft skills and improving people's happiness (i was in a supervisory position) is not appreciated. They claim to have a coaching culture but that is there on paper and not lived. My Advice to new employees: - you better make sure you laugh at the jokes everyone else laughs as or you'll have an interesting 1on1 with your manager coaching you for not laughing at the appropriate moments.... yes.... this happened.... and i was required to do this to my team which I wasn't going to do. Sorry.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
