Pros

- good pay and benefits - nice desks (ergonomic) and office space

Cons

- politics, politics, politics - Even when you get hired as an internal candidate for a job at a higher grade level, you don't get moved up. It's always a lateral transfer unless you're one of the "favorites" who actually gets a shot at the very, very few promotion spots that open up annually. - They prefer to hire from the outside, so get the title you want coming in because getting it through promotion is unlikely despite your performance. - I thought that being part of a fast-growing company would mean opportunities for advancement. How wrong I was!! It's the opposite of most places I've worked where advancement was much easier.

Pros

PayPal has good benefits. The salary was good - better than most other companies in the area. Some flexibility in work time and schedule.

Cons

Middle management is awful; the worst management layer I have ever had to work with and endure. Bad Managers aren't punished, they're simply moved to other teams and other orgs where they repeat their atrocious behavior. There is little or no promoting or advancement. Teams stagnate with no promotions or advancements for years.
