Pros

- "Start-up" kind of culture - Casual work attire - Ability to atleast "talk" innovation - Not as bureaucratic as one would expect

Cons

- Most senior leaders are from traditional bureaucratic environments, so they do bring the same culture with them, albeit wearing jeans - PayPal WILL take advantage of its employees, low pay and long hours is a given - Review process is flawed if non-existent, no basis for promotions or lack there of, leads to a direction-less career (HR deptt can be easily outsourced)
