Pros

Good benefits, different shifts available, the work is relatively easy but can quickly become 'mindnumbingly' routine.

Cons

lack of opportunities to be upwardly mobile. when a job posting comes out, you are competing against at least 10-15 people (sometimes as many as 30-40 people) because many tenured people are desperate to move up. final decisions on candidates seem to be based on who you know, not education or experience. many quality people have left the company because they just can't get ahead.

Pros

Pay is competitive for the Silicon Valley but this is not a technology destination.

Cons

Management in the technology organization at PayPal is terrible. No vision, no strategy and they flounder constantly on how to make decisions. A bunch of do nothing bankers have been brought in and their solution to any problem is layering of people to insulate them from any accountability.
