Amazing culture at Bay area. I've worked at both the places. Definitely Amazon above paypal
Which office location did you work at in the bay area?
Check leadership principles
You are not really answering me... I want feedbacks from personal experience not from the official guideline
Has fare share of incompetent people who will create obstacles! Also many things are quite bureaucratic!

I work in Seattle and the workers there are super resistant to doing their jobs. Constantly brush you off when you are blocked by their work. You have to find out all the internal systems on your own with very little documentation. Be ready to work off hours allot. Also people play this weird game of talking over others while the other person is talking and then everyone just keeps talking louder and louder. Also sticky germ infested hands leave residues on doors allot and just this month there was case of mumps at the office.
Uh what? Mumps? Good god
Yup..... They sent out email for my building to let everyone know about the outbreak Incase they needed to get vaccinated.
Managers and org will define the experience you'll get
What about NYC? I know it’s a smaller presence , but curious.
Only toxic people make a toxic environment. I know some great people from Amazon - Bay Area at least. I can’t speak for Seattle
