Pros

Venmo is a fun, easy product I’ve used for years. We’re operating at a scale beyond our competitors.

Cons

Focused on short term growth rather than long term fundamentals. Continuous turnover leads to unfocused deliveries.

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.
