Pros

High growth business that could do great things. PayPal can do a lot and can be a market leader. The potential is there. The payments opportunities for PayPal are really huge and still relatively untapped. The compensation packages are pretty good. The management wants to do right by its people.

Cons

They don't care about doing good engineering. We have a bloated engineering organization that hires warm bodies. There is no focus on creating a solid product. Everything is turf war and political with the most decisions being based on what extend empires not what is the right thing to do.

Pros

Job stability, they rarely fire full time employees.

Cons

Mediocre people's paradise because promotion and recognition is not based on what you have achieved but how close you get to your boss.

Pros

When I started it was one of the best places, they say you will move up in the company. Don't stay in a position too long because you will be stuck there. Insurance is good though.

Cons

Communication is non-existent. If you are one of the hard workers you don't get looked at as something good, you get looked at as doing something bad.
