Pros

Still a great place in the valley. Location is convenient for south bay folks.

Cons

The culture of this company has changed dramatically and for the worse, after separating from eBay. It is absolutely not fun anymore to work here.

Way too political and no long term view or outlook.

Pros

The work is great, demanding and exciting. There is a long journey ahead and enough interesting things to learn and implement.

Cons

Way too political and at times hostile culture which is very negative. Everyone is expected to say positive things in larger meetings and take dissenting opinions outside of even planning meetings. After a while, senior engineers and even managers get disinterested in providing their feedback and just focus on the job required.

Pros

old business model still very profitable from online payment perspective.

Cons

new leadership totally changed PayPal's culture to be unbearable. you can't survive without being political. Indian leaders only promote friends and families disregard their capabilities. Performance is evaluated based on 'sales pitch', not on real work deliverable.
