Pros

When I was there: catered lunches, stocked kitchens, fun company activities, really cool office space, company-issued computers.

Cons

In order to get a promotion to a better role or department you essentially had to grind on a hamster wheel of endless customer service calls (often which were pretty angry in nature). Management often was unresponsive for long periods of time because you were expected to navigate the company knowledge database yourself quickly to answer complex customer issues regarding the app. Training was sufficiently long enough and detailed enough to cover the basics thankfully. However, management did not take customers escalations hardly at all, leaving unprepared agents to deal with irate customers on their own most of the time. Their sick day policy was quite unforgiving at the time I worked there if you hadn't earned your sick leave/hadn't been there six months; a manager shrugged at me when I asked what would happen should I get seriously ill for longer than I had sick days or PTO accrued.

Pros

Unlimited vacation. Flexible work schedules. Smart people

Cons

Doesn't have an established good practice for engineering. Everyone is super busy everyday, but quality of the projects are very ok.

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.
