PayPal Work Experiences
- 5.0Intern life at PayPalSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSingapore, SingaporeFebruary 4, 2020Pros: PayPal is considerate and cares about staff mental and physical condition. Managers here are very kind and easy-going.Cons: It has some words that were used internally, so it may be a little hard to understand the whole structure.
- 4.0Great place, amazing team! But hard to get career advancementSoftware QA Engineer • Current EmployeeSingapore, SingaporeAugust 5, 2013Pros: * Flexible working hours * Free lunch, free breakfast, snacks, and soft drinks * Work with people across the globe * Provide entertainment rooms like table tennis, Xbox, and foosballCons: Need to stay late if you have a team meeting with people from different timezones. Work on the weekend if you are in a different timezone, especially if you are in an Asian timezone while the PayPal release follows US time. Bureaucracy. Mostly start as a contractor, promised to get promoted in one year, but keep getting reasons to delay your conversion.
- 1.0I'd look elsewhere if I were youSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSingapore, SingaporeJune 11, 2025Pros: Hybrid work schedule. Pay is above average in the market. Good insurance coverage.Cons: Work-life balance has collapsed since last year. Layoffs, PIPs, and role consolidation have negatively impacted morale severely. Trying to get help from other teams is a lost cause. Politics are being played everywhere now. Additionally, career progression has been at a standstill for years now. Recommend not to come in nowadays.
