      Pros

      Good work life balance, amazing people (not only culturally, but very intelligent and not afraid to do the right thing), interesting projects.

      Cons

      Too many reorgs, not very clear who does what. A lot of politics around, lately. Also, the office is very far from the city centre and the benefits are not that good compared to other tech companies in town.

      Advice to Management

      Standardise career progression opportunities across sites. Don't change the org as often, it creates a lot of stress

      I worked at PayPal full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      - Shares plan. - flexible time. - 1 month Sabbatical time after 5 years - I had great experience in PayPal until my last year when 2 of my new manager came back (one was transferred from another dept and one back from maternity). They just had no clue about risk and how to manage people!!!

      Cons

      - Office in the middle of nowhere (no free shuttle) - Low pay (average benefits) - Annual bonus and low pay out - VERY poor management (in my area they had no clue about risk and no education background). Just not be able to connect and empathise with the team.

      Advice to Management

      - Empathise with your team and smile. - Be more flexible mentally.

      I have been working at PayPal full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Regardless of the years of experience that you might bring to the job, your entire professional history is erased once you join PayPal and you start from scratch

      Cons

      Excellent culture, decent benefits, poor junior leadership in General

      Advice to Management

      Leadersgip development and recruitment usually ends up in disaster with self centered, egotistics junior leaders who believe they are the next best thing after God himself. Humility is not a quality for PayPal leaders in Ireland. There is also a strong culture of crownism

      I worked at PayPal full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Nice coworkers from several countries

      Cons

      The salary may seem high depending of your country of origin but don't get fooled it's so low. They trick you saying that every year they do a salary review, they will only add 20€ x month to your salary likely. They live in a military crazy world, with more than 10hours shifts with only 30 minutes break, lunch time (only 30 min) is not paid and you must work for an extra half an hour. They monitore your screen...

      Advice to Management

      They don't know how to manage, the organization from top to low is rotten.
