Business Outlook

Pros

- Great mission - High impact work - Decent compensation, though not inline with FAANG

Cons

- Autocratic payments leadership, tends to micromanage everything - Payments leadership never takes blame for anything but always looks for people to blame, both within and outside of payments - extremely frustrating - Inability to make a decision and stick with it. Decisions are constantly revisited causing teams tremendous churn - Payments leadership team says the right things to employees, but doesn't act accordingly (e.g., WLB has been in the toilet for 2 years, yet all we get is a no meetings day - that is actually filled with meetings - once a month? PayPal does proper days off once a month)
