Pros

Great benefits package, decent starting wage

Cons

Paypal is a great place to work if you want to be stuck in single position for years with little wage increase. Change happens very quickly at PayPal, although not in a good way. You are constantly shoveled from team to team (within same department of course) and have a new team leader every 3-4 months, which you have to explain your career goals to every time and right when you think you're going to get somewhere BAM. New team. New boss. No actual advancement. The initial training received was completely inadequate. When you actually start your job you are incredibly overwhelmed. Also, the attendance policy changes are impossible. Flawed incentive system makes it very difficult to get a sizeable bonus or any bonus at all. The internal talent search is a joke.

Pros

Work life imbalance, there is no work and only life.

Cons

No work which means if you stay here for long you can't find another job, re-orgs is the only work management has. Only those in inner circle gets raise, bonus, stocks and rest can leave. Worst frontline managers, some of them are pure non-technical not even capable of finding any other job.

Pros

Co-workers, fun environment, great onsight family activities

Cons

Terrible attendance policy alloting for only 5 call-ins during a rolling 12 month period does not allow for unforseen life happenings. Recent changes to the policy were supposedly to align with other centers throughout the world which I believe to be a outright lie. A simple search on EU labor laws found that US employees are allowed far less time off with no annual vacation days. Sick time must be accrued starting at the beginning of each year leaving no room for getting sick during winter, a time most people are apt to becoming ill. As it stands an employee cannot call-in for being legitimately sick until sometime in April of each year. Once a manager actually told their employees that while he understands things happen, but we should try avoid anything happening during our work days. This is especially insulting coming from someone not personally affected by the policy. Process policies are changed frequently with little to no notice and offer no grace period to ensure employees understand and are implementing the changes correctly. Advancement is based on who you know not your abilities.
