Pros

They have good people who work there and they have decent benefits.

Cons

Outrageous metrics. I worked there for 2 years and they do nothing but make your job harder. To give an example, they changed the entire layout of the customer profiles without notifying their agents. When we got customers calling in asking us about the new look we sounded stupid, we had to help customers the best we could and that took more time than usual. then they had the nerve to criticize us for having a longer handle time. That is just ONE example. They shove it down your throat about what a great company they are and how you should feel lucky to work there. Don't be fooled, they do not care about you even when they say they do. They're full of it. Nothing but bad management. I no longer work there and my stress levels aren't nearly as bad as they were when I worked there. Job seekers be warned.

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.
