Pros

You own your own path. There aren't many restrictions on work hours / time off if you're getting your work done. PayPal is a great employer.

Cons

Management can feel absent at times. You can get pulled into fires on a somewhat regular basis.

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.
