PayPal

The gym is pretty nice. I have nothing else to put here but need to write this to meet the 20-word minimum.

Everything else is terrible. Middle management is concerned only with building their fiefdoms. Rather than work together, managers will sabotage the work of others if they feel threatened or overshadowed. This is not a company that you want to go to if you want to work to make things better or have any ideals beyond making your manager look good in PayPal's Game of Thrones managerial culture.

Not only that, but every single business process internally is broken. The company runs everything on rushed, artificial deadlines, resulting in tech-debt-ridden software that is in constant need of replacement. When it does get replaced, it's replaced by yet another rushed-out and tech-debt-ridden solution. This is compounded by poor hiring standards, resulting in sub-standard developers writing terrible code with little oversight and no code review. But who has time to review code when this feature needs to be rushed out by tomorrow?

There are so many better companies to work for out there that there's no reason to come here. Leaving was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I look back on my time in horror. It's like having left an abusive relationship. I still find myself stopping, shuddering, and then releasing a huge sigh of relief that I no longer work here.

The best thing you could all do for PayPal would be to quit. Preferably at the same time, so your replacements don't contract any hint of the politically toxic culture you've created.
