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.

I got laid off earlier this year. I was getting burnt out pretty badly at Venmo, but I was making sure to take PTO to address it. Engineering leadership at Venmo told us we were safe from mass PayPal layoffs before it happened so it really felt like a shot to the back. Colleagues still there say thi...Read more
