      Pros

      good position on a hot market. the company will get split to another IPO company sooner or later. at current market, RSU is worth 30k+ per year if you have been working more than four years.

      Cons

      internal management are poor. Some people has to do most of the work while others does nothing. talents are leaving for Google, Facebook and LinkedIn.

      So much opportunity, so little execution

      Pros

      PayPal has a unique opportunity to become the world's favorite way to pay and be paid. It can enter into any financial service, it can offer all sorts of payment products and enhancements, like offers, discounts, loyalty, big data. Past management has dragged their feet, but new leaders promise a start-up and experimental approach that bodes well.

      Cons

      PayPal has terrible hiring and people management practices, which results in lousy managers hiring huge numbers of lousy people. There exist massive departments filled with friends of friends, most of whom do little work. Years of poor management means that these departments grow regularly every year. There is very little path to promotion from within, because leadership does not seek to groom talent, but hires director-and-up positions from outside.
