Pros

This is the best job I've ever had. As a software developer who has been worked into the ground at other companies I feel like Braintree has all it's priorities in order. As an engineer here is what I appreciate: 1. We're a product company who's mission is customer success. When you, as a engineer, are arguing with your peers about what the best outcome for your customers is - you know you're working at the right place. 2. The company has large technical scaling issues. It's hard to get these problems other places and they are tough and exciting to work on. 3. Mentorship is available at almost every level; there are some very very smart people here. 4. Opinions and criticism are welcome and encouraged. 5. Automated testing is baked into the culture

Cons

Like any company growing this fast there are problems with internal communication.

Pros

Good transparency in the organization. Smart engineers. Good products. Enjoyable work environment. Pair programming and TDD with good benefits and incredible work life balance.

Cons

PayPal has increased its control over Braintree and more of the bureaucracy is creeping into the daily life of being an engineer. They don't do a great job of training hires who don't have a natural proclivity for the type of work Braintree does. Training is pretty much 100% on the job which can leave some people behind.
