Pros

At first, lots of innovation. Good career paths. Smart folks and interesting projects

Cons

CFO from airline came onboard and started slashing benefits left and right. The company focuses on giving a lot of stocks but they forgot they can’t control the stock market (even when the company does very well). This year, the attrition has been through the roof, to the point I am worried about how much this may affect our future earnings and our merchants.

Pros

Comparing to industry peers good and benefits, if lucky. Nod head always to boss environment. Surveys happen regularly.

Cons

Be always wary to be impacted by yearly cut short culture. Performance equity alloted for good work too will be taken away. Old timers rule, only learn legacy politics from bosses, who can't thrive in modern work cultures. So, they make other hardworkers or ICs life miserable. Push back culture, no career growth. Surveys happen regularly. But, leadership uses it to identify people who are unhappy raise concerns and let them out, when they open up through answers. Lot of good PR or media puller company. Then, initiate layoffs in the name of restructuring. Its utter cheap practice. Few good leaders were packed off. But, top leadership of the company sits tight without their Salaries or Equity impacted in anyway during such pandemic situations.

Pros

Dynamic and solid financial results

Cons

Executives are always looking for their bonuses and cutting people or sending work overseas. Frankly, PayPal never had a financial hiccup, but instead of focusing on the customers, the executives always squeezing for cost reduction. QUALITY might be a risk in medium-long-term.
