1. Venmo is a great product 2. Front-line workers are kind & hard-working 3. Excellent healthcare benefits

Minpunten

Promotion of Incompetence: Managerial promotions irrespective of capability or past failures. Lack of managerial suitability despite expertise in specific product lines and/or processes. Unsound Decision-Making: Committing to short-term, nonsensical contractual obligations. Arbitrary deadlines causing excessive work hours for engineers. Executive Leadership Issues: Disconnection between executives and productive teams. Prioritizes red tape and the loudest voices/teams while overlooking productivity of stable/steady teams. Dependency Bottlenecks: High volume of complex dependencies among project teams; requires manual coordination. Lack of Vision: Absence of a clear, overarching vision beyond shipping products. Neglecting long-term growth strategies for Venmo. Persistent Low Morale: Continual dissatisfaction and low morale amongst employees.

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.
