LOL paypal. I wouldn't even want to put that on my resume.
They froze my account and kept my info (SSN and all). I had to subpeona them to get them to tell me why my account is locked. Their reason was I was associated to another person that owe them money. They won't tell me who this person is.
I've asked them to just delete my info and I won't ever create another paypal account and I have not done anything wrong. They stated no. I asked them if my information will be encrypted they said it's SSL encrypted (wtf). A month later their server got hacked.
They screwed so many people over that the person looking over your resume will be like ugh this guy works for that horrible company. Next!
Funny enough, I had a similar thought when I applied to eBay. The idea of working for the parent company of PayPal turned me off (I hadn't used my PayPal account in years after getting burned!)
However, since joining, I've met some amazing people (including Bill - He's a wicked smart, cool guy!) and seen some of the projects in the pipeline. The stuff they're working on is top-notch!
It may not be a "sexy" start up and PayPal's business practices may turn people off (I know first hand!) but at the end of the day, you'll be doing some cool stuff working with some amazing people (who know other amazing people and so on and so on...)
Personally, I'm ecstatic Crockford has joined the company!
Me neither. Over the years I have grown to passionately hate them. I wonder if they ever be able to turn around themselves.
Just recently this week they reminded me again of their incompentence.It seems they no longer allow Mass Payments for small businesses. Why is it so difficult to let users upload CSV with list of payments to be made? I guess they want their customers to suffer as much as possible, by doing payments one by one.
