Pluspunten

It's a great product, and there are some exciting fun projects to work on. The flexibility with hours and remote/WFH is also pretty great.

Minpunten

A lot of projects are focused on compliance. A lot of projects get deprioritized halfway through and something you've spent so much time working on is just put on hold indefinitely. There's very little respect for all the engineers, PMs, designers who are doing the real work. They call us workers. All the attention and money is focused on the managers, and increasingly there is a culture of do-what-your-manager-says and less of the proactive, do what you think is right. More and more of the original Venmoers are gone, and the PayPal influence is strong.

Pluspunten

People care about the product immensely. Also, WFH 100% is really great as an option.

Minpunten

PayPal's senior leadership is absolutely clueless on how to move the product forward or grow the company, and this kills the I credible Venmo team's work velocity considerably. Senior leadership also thinks inserting ads everywhere is somehow helpful for the Venmo brand and company as a whole. They (PayPal) just removed sabbatical PTO. Horrendous idea.
