Pros

Pay is competitive for the Silicon Valley but this is not a technology destination.

Cons

Management in the technology organization at PayPal is terrible. No vision, no strategy and they flounder constantly on how to make decisions. A bunch of do nothing bankers have been brought in and their solution to any problem is layering of people to insulate them from any accountability.
