How are promotions handled at PayPal?

benefit is good and teammate are skilled and nice

stupid high level leadership provided no guidance but only chaos, almost no opportunity for promotion and salary increase

Great salary, benefits and co-workers

Tech layoffs have impacted us greatly. Doing more with less. Not a lot of opportunities for promotions unless you know the right people.

Decent pay for Chennai location . Okayish learning curve if you put in the extra effort

Not much opportunities for career growth or promotions .

work from balance is good

limited promotions opportunities , process is too messy

Benefits are good with ESPP and 4% 401K match

Pay raises are minimal and ceiling to opportunities for upward mobility

Household name, recognizable on resume, lots of inbound applicants makes filling roles easy.

Major layoffs twice a year after Q1 and Q3 earnings. No promotion opportunities for remote employees.

- 4% match for 401k - Amongst a lot of boring and meaningless work, there are some pockets of pretty interesting things to work on - Taking time off is respected for the most part - There is opportunity to step up if you really want to - If you are the right cog in the wheel, you can dodge layoffs and try to fly under the radar for the steady paycheck - WFH/Remote-friendly (so far) - WLB is pretty decent if you put your foot down and set boundaries

- Coporate office politics is rampant - Reorgs and layoffs are a constant - Huge layer of fat in middle management that slows things down and refuses to be cut - Priorities change every day - Lack of vision, transparency, or accountability from management - Comp is pretty average - Company is becoming a sweat shop mentality with the new ceo - Path to promotions / career growth is unclear - No innovation / no bandwidth for engineers to even think about innovation

- Pay is good. - Good brand on resume. - Global product exposure - Work life balance is good

- Feel bloated. Management heavy. Less ICs in Data Science. - Hence, constant fear of layoffs - Promotions are slow. Very slow career growth - Work feels not very impactful - Under performing stock value - Culture deteriorating

Great WLB and management is very easygoing. Gives equal opportunity for promotion

Some team member doesn't seem adequate enough for the job

Relatively good work-life balance Flexible office attendance Great people No toxic atmosphere

No clear promotion path Salary is relatively low compared to big tech companies Hardly any happy hours or social events
