Pluspunten

- nice culture - good benefits - ample vacation time (London based employee) - strong family values - open door to management - opportunity to distinguish yourself and make an impact if you're willing to work hard, drive change and produce creative solutions to problems

Minpunten

- not great at promoting top performers (they seem to subject everyone to the same 2 year promotion process regardless of how good they are). - legacy of A* performers leaving because change is too slow / frustrating. in turn C players tend to stick around and get promoted by default. - siloed environment - not a lot of true cross functional collaboration - marketing is only just becoming more consumer oriented. professionals tend to be uncreative and unhelpful and supporting anything outside of their core agenda. - product has to do SJ's bidding. very little regional control or resource to support new ideas that might move the needle. - slow to get anything done

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.
