      Pros

      The company is trying to turn around - there are some great new talent around and Exec seem genuinely interested in fixing problems. The company is in a hot space. With their footprint in ebay they can't help but make money -- however there is little real impactful innovation. Pays well and get's green cards for everyone -- which is why so many are there for so long.

      Cons

      Many of the senior leaders below the exec are useless and the processes in the company too rigid to turn these people over. There is a serious lack of any type of ambition or dedication to quality. Most have not updated their skills in years, and blockers to the change that the company is trying to drive. Overall the company has very little clue about what constitutes a great 'product'. Most of the old guard are dead weight and so you are always working against the grain.

      Pros

      There is lots of opportunity for career development. As a university graduate, I didn't have much to offer in experience but PayPal was willing to take me on and I've got the chance to do jobs that I would have never got if I applied for them externally. It's a really relaxed environment which I love. I hate the idea of having to wear suits and ties to work. I can wear the same clothes that I wear at the weekend but still be completely professional. On the whole, people are quite nice and open and you always know that you have a lot of support there for any issue you may have in the company, both professionally and personally. Lots of extra corporate benefits like bonuses, free gym, free healthcare and pension contribution!

      Cons

      Some of the red tape in the company can be a little annoying but this may be similar in many other large multinational corporations. I think that the salaries aren't quite as high as they could be.
