PayPal

Balanced work and life, although it depends on the team. The overall culture is really good; they do care about you, giving you the freedom to take care of yourself and your community. The PP Gives initiative is really great, where PayPal matches the amount you donate to a noble cause of your choice.

The tech stack and quality of work are up to date with industry standards, and you do get the freedom to try new things and suggest better solutions.

People are really helpful here, be it with new hire training or any support regarding any internal product. You will definitely find a help Slack channel for it.

Overall, as a professional, you will grow well here.

The leadership is also very supportive. They host Ask Me Anything sessions and also encourage questions during the All Hands session to hear your voice and concerns, and the best part is you can go anonymous.

As with everything, there are cons as well. This is a part of our industry, it seems. Layoffs happen here as well, as the atmosphere is competitive. One has to keep learning and growing to be of value for the organization. However, it does help the person itself in overall growth and development.
