Met amazing and brilliant people, they truly are kind and want to help you if they can. There's lots of ways to learn and grow if you join as a junior engineer. Also you get 401k matching up to 4%.
Where to begin? Since my time there, I've discovered major pay disparities between men and women of the same level for same location, the path to promotion feels arbitrary and highly political (you are more likely to get promoted if you are white ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), leadership has really dried up in terms of concerns of their reports, ultimately acting more as a mouthpiece for PayPal's interests, pay is lower than average compared to other major tech companies- they stack up low base with now failing stock compensation, quality of health insurance has declined significantly, everything must be built and connected through PayPal so trying to get any actual dev work done feels like pulling teeth because you are on a million email chains and Teams calls. I've had different managers during my time there and they are stretched way too thin to care about their direct reports career growth as well, they'll support you if they can but... don't hold your breath. Burnout and fatigue is a consistent issue among engineers and getting harder and harder to recover from. Some teams have to be on-call rotations two weeks out of every month. The way they have handled managing teams is no longer sustainable and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone rage quit at the same time.
Debating between two offers, both in NYC LinkedIn: 325TC Venmo (remote, for now): 325TC Venmo team is mostly on the east coast. LI team is in the Bay.
Asking again. I have a tech phone screen with Venmo in a few days. How difficult is their interview process? Applying for a SWE with 2.5 years experience
Do you have venmo debit card? Seems scammy to me that they want you to have the venmo debit card in order to Add money to your account.
I can’t rationalize why anyone would opt to use Venmo at this point over Zelle and Apple Cash. I get it for small businesses, but at this point, Venmo should be obsolete for personal use. Why would I ever want my money sitting in Venmo when it could just go directly to my bank?
Two of my friends who are in a relationship invited four people over to their house the other night for a dinner party including myself. After the party, they Venmo requested everyone who attended for the cost of the food. Is it just me or is this really fucked up behavior? I throw parties frequent...Read more

From a few comments I've read on Blind, many Venmo employees seem unhappy and are leaving the company. What's the cause of the discontent and should I pass on interviewing there?
I'm in negotiations with Venmo now for a Team Lead role and am curious about what the internals of the company look like. I've read some bad things on Blind and want to find some current or former employees to chat with. I've heard that maybe senior/staff engineers left recently and the org is left ...Read more
Current TC: 280k YOE: 10 I was wondering what it would be like to work with Venmo in SF? I’m prepping to chat with a director there about a senior management role.
I have an offer for Staff machine learning engineer from Venmo and the TC is same for both Austin and Chicago. I’m more inclined towards Austin because of the booming tech market there but for a similar package Chicago seems to be the cheaper alternative. The role is fully remote for the next 1year ...Read more
