Pros

The benefits. But when you think about it that's thanks to PayPal sooooo...

Cons

I've been with the company for less than 6 months and everything they sold me on has changed. One of the managers is a passive aggressive bully and they other one is never there. I left a job making more money because I thought this would be a less stressful environment but this is not it. You're chained to your laptop and now chained to your desk. Certain jobs a half hr lunch is doable. This is not one of them. When I first started the schedules were evenly broken up between the 3 channels and that was fine. Now your schedule is majority the most or the 2 most stressful channels. Since no longer being able to work in the common areas and the increase in the 2 channels, I've had 4 anxiety attacks. It's not work it.

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.
