Challenging Work Envt
Lead Software QA Engineer (Current Employee) – Baltimore, MD – March 6, 2019
PayPal is fast paced and rapidly changing envt.
Anyone has passion for learning new technologies in market, then paypal is for you.
Working hours are flexible, but you might have to do after hours given the timelines.
But it totally depends on your manager.

Call center job
Customer Service Agent (Former Employee) – Chandler, AZ – February 18, 2019
Standard call center job requirements.
If you can sit behind a computer for 40hrs. a week and deal with people over the phone you'll do fine. Personally it was not a job for me as I can't handle people calling to complain about what they signed up for and how it's the company's fault they don't know how to use the products and services.

Great Place to Work for
Limitations Agent (Former Employee) – Chandler, AZ – February 18, 2019
PayPal is a great place to work for. There are many levels of advancement and many departments to work in. Managers are run of the mill but the benefits make up for their incompetence.
Pogressive work place
Fraud Team Leader (Current Employee) – dundalk – February 18, 2019
Paypal is quiet a diverse work place.
Their Core believes are adhered to from CEO to agent levels.

Decent but difficult life-work-balance
Software Engineer 2 (Former Employee) – Scottsdale, AZ – February 13, 2019
There are a lot of fun technologies and problems to solve. There is however a huge work-life balance issue. Long hours were very common and encouraged. People with bigger home responsibilities might not like it as much.
Pros
free food, good compensation, fun problems to solve
Cons
high stress environment
High paced but fun
Disputes Resolution Specialist (Former Employee) – Chandler, AZ – February 11, 2019
High paced strict environment spent on the phones but great place to work overall. Awesome break rooms on the first floor. Pool tables, game systems, and quarter coke machines.
Great cafe
(Contractor) Senior TPM & Operations Manager (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – February 10, 2019
CEO is very transparent and credible. The company invests a lot of effort to train and encourage their employees. There is a lot of employee loyalty and many staff members have been there 10+ years which is unusual in the bay area.
Great job

cafe, games, gym, pond, b-ball court, sand volleyball

Horrible scheduling of breaks and lunches, became very relaxed with dress code and appearance

Change and Adapt
Management (Current Employee) – Arizona – February 6, 2019
Growth and success with a positive work culture is what you can expect each day. You will be challenged each day and some days are better than others but every teammate experiences the same thing and you can rely on management to support you because of the values PayPal expects all management to embrace. Everyday you are using technology to communicate with customers, merchants, teammates. Verbal and written communication skills, collaboration, and inclusiveness are essential for personal success.
Pros
Leading edge company

Change and fast pace
