How's the culture in PayPal like? Early stages of interview so they haven't revealed the equity and bonus yet. Got low balled at my current job, don't want to repeat it again. Current TC : 123k base + 20k bonus (variable of course) + 50k stocks = 193k
160k base in austin is not too bad...
Austin is such a bad deal getting low balled
It’s low tc need to be at least 250 base in Austin
160k is good deal but you can still negotiate till 180k base
That's the plan.
I would say run the other way. The management sucks and the work is alright, nothing too exciting. At senior levels in android is pretty stagnant growth
I wonder if I can name the person here. Would it be possible for you to tell me if management in that team also sucks like you say it does. I don't believe entire companies are bad. You can lucky with some good teams as well. For example Amazon has a bad reputation overall but some of my friends are pretty happy with their managers and teams.
I’m sure some teams are good. I worked for one of them before the senior leadership turned it to shit with ridiculous timelines and unclear/no roadmaps
Run, look for better opportunities
I thought paypal was a good company based on my impressions during my interview with them. What makes you say this?
I'd ask the same.
PayPal management is garbage. All senior leaders suck and there is some serious long term risks to the business
PayPal is in a very competitive market. PayPal is a payment company there is no other revenue stream. Stripe is encroaching heavily online, square is taking up retail, cash app is eating venmo's lunch every day of the week and twice on Sunday. We don't have anything new coming up. In all hands people directly ask "why is there no road map and why we don't have work are layoffs coming?" Not occasionally every forum whenever they get a chance. Institutional investors have started dumping our share which is like a last nail. Investors themselves cite bad management and no proper roadmap being the reason.
What’s the TC offered?
Will get to know if once I clear the remaining rounds.
