Pros

Heath insurance, stock discounts. Parking

Cons

PayPal sell the idea you can make a career. You hit your numbers, do overtime to help with poor service levels. Do shift swaps for collegues whom can't get time off. All round decent contributing members. 12 internal applications later to move lateral or up a level rejected. Having multiple department knowledge. Certificates, diplomas and two degrees. Constantly rejected, career progression promises...... PayPal is a dead end..... rejection email after another. You are great but not now etc. However applying for a similar position outside offer the role... Makes you think.

Pros

Good benefits and salary. Lot of time to do whatever you want.

Cons

Managers does not know anything about technical. People take advantage of that. Most employees are talkers not doers. Most of the employees are AWF's or from service based companies who are below average in whatever they do. It's not good place for IITians or BITsians. Worst recruitment process.
