Constant reorganization and blatant favoritism.

Pros

-Great benefits -Work from home opportunities PayPal has great benefits and programs to take advantage of, there's no doubt about it.

Cons

-Poor work/life balance -Zero accountability -Employees are held to very different standards -Arbritary metrics for evaluating employee performance -Blatant favoritism between managers and employees -Decisions are an extremely long process. -Decisions made without considering impact to employee Decision making is severely lacking. Even the most simple decisions take an insane amount of time. Upper management says all the right things, but middle management never follows through and nothing changes for the better. Promotions are difficult to get unless you're a woman, as social agenda issues run rampant through the organization. Reviews, raises, and promotions are based on arbitrary data, and favoritism tends to rule each decision. Women are clearly favored and given special treatment including special seminars and paid company trips.

Pros

Great benefits Casual dress code Decent pay Lots of time wasted in meetings and "fun" events. Good 401k match.

Cons

Hard to get promoted if you aren't a 20-something, single, and female. Poor management. Lots of favoritism shown. Since company is currently part of California based eBay, some social agenda issues are presented as positive whether you agree with them or not. There are specific seminars solely for the promotion of women - hard to believe they get away with discrimination like that. Longevity with the company is not rewarded, and hardly acknowledged.
