      Toxic and very political work environment. It is about who you know, not what you know.

      Pros

      Benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits.

      Cons

      It's very unfortunate that good people are not given opportunities and that seniority means absolutley nothing. It is also unfortunate that we are not allowed to voice our opinions truly without repercussion. Management says they have an open door policy and that they want to hear what we have to say but as soon as you disagree, you are targeted as a negative person and then things get...uncomfortable.

      Challenging, Face paced environment

      Pros

      There's a lot of opportunity to branch out and learn. It's a 'never-get-bored" environment where there's always something to get involved in -- even it it's outside your job scope. If you decide to explore other careers, there are options to do so.

      Cons

      Life work balance isn't that easy.

      If you're not Indian, do not take a job at PayPal.

      Pros

      - I learned a lot about web application programming. - The pay and benefits are pretty good.

      Cons

      1) PayPal's workforce is more than 70% Indian. Of course, this is not problem in itself. At PayPal, however, the Indians heavily favor their own. They get away with this because they control the place. As a result, if you're not Indian, you have no chance at a good rating or a promotion. If you *are* Indian, you have a cushy job for life. 2) PayPal stack ranks its entire workforce every 6 months. The result is intense competition among "teammates," with lots of backstabbing, politics, and court intrigue.
