Pros

The Senior Management at Paypal don't have a clue how to run technology or innovate. They just keep milking their cow and feeding the fat cat. Lower ranking jobs can be protected from the storm at the top, but there is always a maelstrom going on at the top.

Cons

management is horrible on every level

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.
