Pros

I have worked in HCL, NetApp and VMWare. I like PayPal the most. I have completed 1 year at Paypal and this is my 1st review. PayPal provides Very good package :) - First most My team has good Work life balance. Not sure about other teams. Nobody cares what others do. Team follows Agile with 2 weeks sprint. Flexible Office Timings. Nobody cares at what time you login / logoff. Work from home option. Good support from manager and team for higher education (I completed M.Tech part time). Very good Transport Facility. (They have scheduled timing shuttles and also Door drops if you stay late) - This is awesome. Free Snacks (Usual Tea/coffee vending machine, Biscuits, Plain vanilla & chocolate cakes, Tropicana, Real and Appy juices. Heritage Badam milk all flavors :) ) Recently they started healthy campaign and started providing few healthy foods for a short span. (Peanuts, Dates, Buttermilk, spouts, bananas, other healthy snacks) Annual Events celebrated by PayPal is awesome. Very good Gym with Trainer, Gym attached with Rest rooms for bathing (Includes towel, shampoo, Body wash, coconut oil, safe locker) Play area - Shuttle badminton - 2 courts I play for 2 hours every day. Bollywood Dance classes. They also arrange guitar classes, Running club (3 months batch) Some kind of club for people interested in Photography, Music and Singing , I don't have anything to complain as of now. Waiting for my appraisal cycle. Will come to know the real face of my manager soon :)

Cons

Their choice of food vendors... Lunch is the only thing I hate at PayPal.

Pros

PayPal has a lot of potential. It has two very strong brands in PayPal and Venmo with significant awareness and user bases that other companies envy. There are pockets of teams that are really pushing the envelop to reimagine what PayPal and Venmo could be—especially the Venmo team—and to move with speed given the company must stay focused and not waste time with Apple Pay, Shop Pay, and so many other competitors nipping at PayPal's heels and aggressively taking market share.

Cons

While some teams are pushing to self-disrupt and are moving fast, too many teams—and I'd argue the majority of the company–are living off of PayPal's laurels from the late 2010s through the pandemic. The culture and mindset have to change for the company to remain competitive. Otherwise, they are the Titanic and they're sinking slowly. The former CEO who only last 2 years tried diversifying the company's revenue, planning for the future. But the board and its former chairman (now new CEO) felt he wasn't moving fast enough to stabilize and marketshare. Instead, the board hired the former chairman who made computers and printers at HP—another sinking ship—to lead the oldest fintech company. The loss of confidence in the leadership team and the strategy are only accelerating.
