Pros

The Senior Management at Paypal don't have a clue how to run technology or innovate. They just keep milking their cow and feeding the fat cat. Lower ranking jobs can be protected from the storm at the top, but there is always a maelstrom going on at the top.

Cons

management is horrible on every level

Pros

Depending on your manager, you could have amazing work/lie balance or be worked to death. I have had good ones that looked out for me, gave me opportunities, and made sure I was rewarded well. The pay is good as are the stock grants.

Cons

Not all the managers are good. There are a lot of people who are going nowhere or are coasting along (even after the recent layoffs). Promotions and raises are not done well or fairly. There are a number of sexist members in senior leadership. For all the Women's Initiatives, there is little the company does to actually promote women.

Pros

Smart people. Cool technology. Hot name in the industry.

Cons

The leadership team had to make a lot of difficult decisions lately and, in my opinion, did so very poorly. People were left confused and worried for a very long time.
