      Deteriorating company culture with poor leadership and processes

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are lucky, you get to work with great teammates.

      Cons

      PayPal is done. Their competition will consume them. It has become a relic company; only their long-standing, just-as-ancient merchant customers are keeping them alive. Extremely bloated legacy software. Convoluted processes. Leadership is so far removed from the products and processes, it's a wonder why they are even leaders. Managers only care about their head count and saving their own skins; there is zero true advocacy for their reports. The turnover is wild. The company has lost direction and momentum. From the bottom of my heart, I would stay away unless you are strategically joining them for a quick currency grab.
