Pros

This is not the same PayPal of 10 years ago. It's hungry, razor sharply focused and attacking a much bigger market than the massive one it already dominates.

Cons

PayPal had a lull in the early '00s, and it's spent the last couple years working out of that. Some of those habits are tough to eradicate.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
