A Sinking Ship

Pros

Benefits, stock options, currently remote.

Cons

Constant pay cuts, micro managers, toxic work place, leaders are not fit for their role to lead, unfair treatments & opportunities, and no upward mobility. If you are in sales, you are money motivated. News flash, paypal no longer takes care of their reps. They would rather hire people right out of college and tell them they can make 100K. We were making 180K-200K. PayPal just use their globally known name to hire/keep their reps instead of actually compensating them well. I would rather work for a company who takes care of me and compensates me well than work for a company for their name. People who get promoted are ones that management likes to take golfing and to happy hour. If you are a female you are only being promoted because they have to even out male to female ratio. Would not recommend this job to my worst enemy. If you are about to start this job: Welcome to the sinking ship and make sure you have a life vest.

Pros

- Good stock appreciation during Covid - Good opportunities to learn about payments and security domain - Generally friendly co-workers, people who assume good intentions and who help their peers in good faith.

Cons

- Socialist performance appraisal system. 'Meets expectations' gets 2% raise. 'Exceeds expectations' gets 3% raise! In order to gets 'Exceeds', one has to work 10-12 hour days regularly and be as Yes man to middle management. - Too many folks on work visas in the US means they cannot say no to managers, thereby spoiling work-life balance and team culture for themselves and their peers. - Too many people from a certain country in Asia. Cliques and groups are common.
