Vantaggi

Technology stack is cutting edge and the people are generally pretty smart and hard working. The culture is open and inclusive. Pretty great place to work for engineers.

Svantaggi

Reorganizations happen frequently so you need to be able to deal with change well. Hard to get on important projects that provide impactful work. Decisions are made slowly and communication from middle management is not great.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We value your feedback because it helps us improve, and we are on a continuous journey to create the best possible environment for our employees. We have just passed our one year mark as an independent company from eBay, and we did have several reorganizations during this past year as the company worked through the impacts of the split. From my perspective of the great parts about PayPal is that we are never satisfied with the status quo. We will always strive to improve, and this means we will always be innovating and changing (not necessarily reorganizing!). We are also very focused on improving communications throughout the company. I personally have seen many positive changes in this area over the past months and hope that you have started to feel the changes too.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
