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 have an offer for Staff machine learning engineer from Venmo and the TC is same for both Austin and Chicago.

I'll spice it up for you: if you post something that doesn't seem like bullshit I'll venmo you $20. Easiest $20 you ever made. If multiple people respond I'...Read more

Hi Blinders, I got an ominous and confusing email from my lead recruiter after my onsite (Microsoft) and I'm trying to figure out if it's a good or bad result.
