Pros

In my specific line of work few places are better than PayPal.

Cons

There is a general lack of communication about company priorities, strategies, and alignment to actually get work done.

Pros

- Good career growth opportunities. Do a good job and you will get promoted regularly. - Decent compensation packages, but you have to ask for it - Decent work / life balance, but you have to be willing to stand up for yourself and make sure you have a good understanding of you responsibilities with your manager.

Cons

- Slow and frustrating development process. Way too slow for a web company. - Too focused on profits with a lack of empathy for the end users. Lots of user research and testing is done, but unfortunately the results are often ignored. - Too many 'empire builder' directors just trying to build the biggest teams.

Pros

Good work/life balance, good opportunities for latteral moves. There is good cooperation between groups in different locations. The management is usually pretty good about giving feedback when asked for it. The management is usually pretty good about helping deal with members of other groups when needed. Management encourages a good work/life balance.

Cons

Work is not always as challenging as it could be. Other groups are not always as cooperative as you might want. Sometimes it can be not always easy to get in touch with the different people in the remote locations when you need to because of the time differences.
