Pros

Health care, gym, 25 days holidays

Cons

It's not how good you are it's about how much you lick up to management. You can go through talent ready but ultimately its your team leader who makes the decision on who gets promoted. You need to be a best friend and play the game.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on your experiences here at PayPal; I’m disappointed you are not having a more positive experience over this past year. As you may know, in 2016 we are actively revising and updating our People Manager / Team Leader expectations to align more fully with our cultural pillars of inclusion, wellness, innovation, and collaboration. By extension, our hope is all the talented people at PayPal will have a more precise idea of what it takes to personally succeed and professionally advance. Thanks again.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
