Growing Pains

Pros

Great benefits, though perks keep being quietly shuffled out over time. Interesting and challenging tech problems due to the rapid growth of the company. Amazing and smart people to work with.

Cons

Upper management has become increasingly heavy handed as the company's intense growth puts more burden on the bottom line. New leadership is much more interested in keeping the people above them happy then taking basic care of employees. Work-life balance has taken a huge downturn as company commitments take center stage. This means lots of decisions handed down from on-high and autonomy/input-power being taken away from the people actually building the product. Almost all senior roles and long-time employees have turned over within the past year. Leadership makes a big show of "listening" but hasn't show any actual response / change / action from what they're being told. Culture as a whole has taken a huge hit as the people who most actively worked to nurture the community got burnt out and left. Naturally things like diversity have taken a hit as there's less focus on making a welcoming, inclusive workplace, and things are increasingly siloed across teams.

Pros

Out of school it comes off like an up and coming startup. Seems like a fun brand to attach your name to, some of your friends might think it's cool.

Cons

It's all maintenance. There is nothing here inspiring, there's nothing new. Venmo is just PayPal's slave...their office is literally above us and dictates anything we do. There are plenty more successful startups in NYC with actual stock option benefits if you want to apply your abilities.

Management is non-existent You have not personal or free time If you are a minority (person of color) or woman good luck getting any say Very high-stress work environment, they want you to be the best without providing you any teachings, simply that you fail, you've failed forever
