Pros

- Great product - Very good pay, healthcare, and office perks - Nice people overall - Great work life balance - Shipping new products

Cons

- Management is poor. It's due to the fact they don't have much experience or that they work remotely - A lot of politics and shadiness - At times, no direction or support is given by management

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.
