Am curious if anyone currently working at PayPal can shed some insight on what it's like working over there... I had chance to visit the office and it looks like everyone heads down and works hard. Looks like a fast pace environment with growth opportunity.

I consider myself entry/mid level engineer so am looking for place I can learn and grow vs fighting politic and micro manager

    Considering we are a fin-tech, cant move as fast as true technology company. Work life balance, competitive pay and good benefits overall. But cant be compared with FANG though. Few teams are really good but all the others are mediocre at best. Another Problem is, lot of incompetent managers, who doesn't know shit about technology or business.

    Too much politics here, if you are an engineer it's not the great place to work like it was let's say 4 years ago.

    There's nothing fancy about PayPal when it comes to technology except for a few teams working on big data. And there are only a few teams who knows most of the things about payments from domain perspective.

    Not worth.

    fuck these PayPal apologists. I've been here a while and wrecking it both in terms of comp and serious impact. true I've been mostly lucky with outstanding bosses but as long as you can vet that ahead of time you should be fine. beware of PHBs though, you will find them in droves out here. if you're still unsure PM me.
