      PayPal Omaha, why the best people are leaving

      It engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Job stability, they rarely fire full time employees.

      Cons

      Mediocre people's paradise because promotion and recognition is not based on what you have achieved but how close you get to your boss.

      PayPal - What it would take to make this company great

      Senior analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The physical working environment is very pleasant, with decent benefits such as tennis courts, gym, fitness classes, and varied cuisine choices. The buildings are youthful and well decorated. Flexibility to work out of office exists, though it is difficult to obtain permission to do so. In general, employees are treated fairly based upon merit, rather than title. It is fairly easy to make a difference in the company if one so desires, because there are people willing to listen and support good ideas. The structure of the company's departments are reasonably well designed to help enable productivity through effective allocation of resources.

      Cons

      The cohesiveness between and within business units is very poor. There is little sense of camaraderie. There are few people who could be called inspirational, and little that motivates employees to go above and beyond. It is difficult to trust the direction of senior management, because that direction is rarely shared in sufficient detail. The biggest problem I perceive is a lack of effective communication within departments and between departments, or even between teams in departments. At the root of this issue is a lack of emphasis on the value of and motivations for supporting one's peers and the company's goals.

      A lot better than average

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Still a huge growth engine, with a lot of potential. Despite a lot of product stupidity, development proceeds at a pretty good pace. It's still a technology-driven org, despite attempts by Marketing and Biz Dev to take over responsibility.

      Cons

      Weekend and after-hours work is the norm. Product is still way too buggy and no one really takes accountability for fixing it. Stupid focus on "time to market" and bogus "competitors" leads to some silly decisions about what developers should work on.
