Pros

Sabbatical, casual dressing, diversity, advanced software for employees usage, good pay and no politics if you remain at entry level.

Cons

Way too much politics, inexperienced managers, unethical directors, lack of transparency, management and HR blatantly bias, Management doesn't adhere to PayPal's policies and directors lack the integrity & intelligence to lead effectively. ** Manager's will capitalize on every opportunity to short change employees on salary/ bonuses with trumped up excuses***

Thank you for your feedback. From what you commented I can tell you care our leadership development in KL Ops, we appreciate that! Leadership development is a journey our leaders in KL have been going through for years, empowerment, servant leadership and effective coaching have helped our leaders to grow. Each teammate has weekly/bi-weekly 1:1s with their direct leader and focus groups or all hands to engage with their senior leaders, they are willing to hear from our teammates and help solve their concerns and development. Have you ever brought up the specific examples of your concerns or unhappiness your experienced to your leaders? I can empathize with how you felt from your words, but it will be more helpful if you can provide your specific and objective observations to your leaders because they are in a position to make immediate changes to address your concerns.

Pros

In my 2 years in PayPal, India and working with the the teams in San Jose here are few points: The current management is quite active PayPal is going in a good direction, the stocks are rising and new work is coming in Work-life balance was good. But it varies from team to team

Cons

Not much room to explore different technologies. Product teams work in a fixed pool of technologies as mostly with other companies. The technology stack has changed over the period of time but not much
