Paypal hiring freeze

Are there folks from Paypal here who could shed some light on the hiring status? Is Paypal still under hiring freeze? Been waiting to hear from the recruiter for more than 2 months on whether a decision has been made on hire freeze and when the freeze would be potentially lifted

PayPal has been having hiring freeze for like 8 months a year over last 3 years. They have a weird cycle of layoffs.. hiring freeze and then mass hiring.

Why do you want to go from Amazon to PayPal? Lol

I moved from Amzn to PYPL 3 years ago and it was one of the best decisions

Some teams are hiring right now, mine included

Thanks @eBVD00. I heard it was a company wide freeze. Did some teams get exception from freeze on a need basis?

PayPal eBVD00 Nov 14, 2019

Yes. We get to hire based on need and if someone leaves. Right now hiring for iOS and Android devs.

We currently have a hiring freeze for our team. I think our team foresees beginning of 2020 to be the end of the freeze.

Yes. I guess PayPal doesn’t hire during end year. January would be open.

Lots of misinformation in this thread...PP not on hiring freeze just not hiring at large growth pace...this may mean some groups not hiring based on their plan but PP is hiring
