Pros

Healthcare, stock opportunities, 401k plan, build skillet for resume purposes

Cons

Negative toxic place to work. Unless you are Management or higher don't bother. Internal hiring process is pathetic. Management constantly shifting due to misrepresented talent. If you just want to be another replaceable piece of the robot, then this place is perfect for you! They will switch you out tomorrow without blinking an eye, regardless of your talent or time put into the company. Greedy. Saddens me to write this. 6 years ago PayPal flowed through my blood. Now they have become just another greedy organization. Ps. no I was not fired. Even if the company makes billions of dollars in revenue, don't expect any Christmas bonus. You took too long providing their customers, who made their company all that money, excellent customer service and you are punished in return for taking the extra minute by receiving zero bonus. Isn't that ironic? I had the opportunity to work in 3 different departments and found it is a common trend throughout.

Pros

Pay is decent and company's prospects are positive

Cons

The most recent re-org at PayPal has been a nightmare. David Marcus said that he was going to simplify things to "GSD" but it turns out that he isn't able to stop the infighting on his executive team so that all the teams under them are confused. You have one senior VP saying that POS is the most important thing to the business and the other senior VP saying that he's going to get it cancelled and therefore, no one knows what to do or how to execute. My entire team is hardly working because we don't actually know what to do!

Pros

Compensation and benefits to an extent. Convenient location and facility, onsite gym, green field for sports.

Cons

Highly secretive and hypocritical culture with a dash of a far-eastern aptitude. Grinds good professionals down to either stressed out, overworked marionettes or political survivors. Attracts and harbors quite a bit of paycheck chasers and tech phonies. Processes frequently change and at the same time are as slow as the telegraph in the fiber optic era. It's hard to catch up and stay up to speed, esp for new hires. And of course politics. It has flooded everywhere. The ebay mothership advertises good values which unfortunately serve as a facade only. Usually values are walked over demonstratively after finding a convenient excuse.
