"Company trying to mature technology built over a decade, and is very operationally driven rather than innovation driven. Projects and priorities shift and demand for continued year over year growth is high. Good salary and benefits, good coworkers, new leadership."
"I've worked for PayPal for several years. While the technical skills of all of my peers are excellent, the way employees are rated at the end of the year is, in my opinion, unfair."
"I have been working for 1 year. Innovation is not much."
What do you like about working at PayPal?
"The people are intelligent and good to work with but very demanding."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"There are little to no opportunities to grow at Paypal. Upper management strives to grow their people but lower managers don't want anything to do with growing their people."
What don't you like about working at PayPal?
"Immediate manager wants to know everything we are doing at all times and at all hours. We have to update given tasks daily and he gets peeved if we don't update him."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I don't know, the company is so large that it is not possible to effect change on the low levels."
"Ceo is strong. But Marketing organization hasn't yet settled into the best productive environment."
"Stats are more important than the customer. Stats are more important than BSA/AML Compliance regulations (agents are expected to work cases quickly and, if a case is taking too long, agents are told to "cut it off" instead of completing a thorough investigation). Stats are more important then the employee (i.e., even if the city is shut down due to a major snow day, employees are expected to be at work and may even be "written up" if they do not show up that day due to the weather). Stats remain the same over the course of years even if the tasks change and become much more complicated. Even if an entire segment of a department is struggling with stats, management will not reconsider numbers or take into account the type of work that is being done. Instead, they will have meetings where employees are told that management "may have to fire the majority of the department" if the stats aren't met. Tenured phone agents are held to stats of people in different (easier) segments to "challenge" them, then when they are unable to meet those stats, they are denied a bonus because they "didn't meet the requirements of their peers"."
"Poor management, hostile relationship with sales, and a negative environment for employees. Do not expect promotion opportunities or raises."
"Great place to work, but they don't hire anyone without 10 years of experience."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Relationships with coworkers are extremely important, very few people are successful if they can't socialize."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Be nice to each other and stop worrying about how to control other manager's domains."
What do you like about working at PayPal?
"The people."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Know your puzzles, know your C++, know your searches, sorts, and other common algorithms, including O() run time."
What don't you like about working at PayPal?
"Management. The work environment."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Be more of a tech company, and less of a financial services company."
