      Pros

      I work for Paypal, a company owned by Ebay. Paypal has 70M+ active users and it is a challenge to keep the system up that works flawlessly. My main responsibility is to write software using C++ in Unix environment. With more than 6 years of experience in software development, I enjoy doing this and each day I learn something new. Sometimes new features of C++ which I put it in practice. Other times tackling live-issues and debugging code.

      Cons

      Stressful at times, supporting opeartions till late night, complex code base, maintenance work. Paypal is too process driven company and sometimes it is just frustrating

      Pros

      Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

      Cons

      Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
