PayPal reviews

Too many processes. Too political. Too many negative value add pencil pushers. False precision. Tolerance for non-performers. Management don't know how to set an excellent standard for their people and unable to discern the good and bad performer from the pool and make decisive action to preserve the good and remove the bad. Stringent promotional process that does not make sense. Prey on hardworking people, who do less upward management. Powerpoint culture. Title is important. A lot of churn. A lot of excuses. Too many people who needs constant recognition and reward and forget that they need to do their job well.

It's in San Jose. It's nice for some people but not for me. For my personal life i wanted to live in SF, and that meant a 2 hr commute each day on the Caltrain, or i could have done the 101. It's a big organization. If you're used to getting things down quickly with little overhead then this place can be stifling. There are many layers of management to get through to get anything done. Finally, it's a bank. When you boil things down that's what it is. So from a culture standpoint it's a bit confusing. People are friendly but not that fun (like their eBay counterparts).
