Pros

The values that Ebay Inc strives for are worthy of emulation by any company or individual. It's a place with heart ; which is quite amazing given the size of the company. Huge business in online payments and security differentiation. Simplified product structure recently makes for greater sakes focus.

Cons

Too many senior level people that are fluffy both in management and technical tracks. Lots of hand waving by these folks who don't understand payments business or payments tech and think that PayPal is a web startup or that it is a new programming language that will change the payments ecosystem. Too many very senior programmer type people who don't understand payments and are rewarded for implementing basic dev environment tooling and custom infra that is slowing down engineering productivity.

Pros

Good salary, benefits and decent work/life balance

Cons

Reorgs happen frequently and results show in lack of innovation by staff. Office culture is clique driven and offers no growth if you're not part if the clique. High staff turnover at all levels, reduces productivity and focus of staff.

Pros

Paypal tries to solve a lot of problems in most financial spaces. Recently they have also started investing a lot on setting up data warehouses and minting intelligence from them

Cons

Although a lot of opportunities are provided to the employees to innovate, very few takes shape and gets to the market
