Pros

PayPal is full of great people: smart, pleasant, interesting, diverse, hip, considerate. Some of the best people I've worked with in my career. Truly some of the best in Silicon Valley. It's also a fast-growing business, which presents all sorts of opportunity from a career standpoint, and which is exciting to be part of. Finally, it's a brand that is loved by many - by buyers at least ;) - I can't tell you how often people say "I love PayPal" when I tell them I work there.

Cons

Still a company in its adolescence, there are growing pains, infrastructure, training, etc. could be improved. Also, there's no stock appreciation because it's so tied to eBay.

Pros

Very impressed with the attention to work-life balance, flexibility, ability to work from home. My manager is very attuned to employee needs, honest with feedback, manages the department fairly.

Cons

eBay is dragging the company down, hurting its reputation. Projects can be very slow to get implemented, and even small fixes to the site can take forever. Needs to be a way to be more nimble. Contractors being let go because one division hired too many people. HOw did that go undetected by top management?

Pros

Excellent leadership, senior management listens to every level of employee. PayPal keeps making constant progress to improve - for both its customers and its employees.

Cons

Typical Silicon Valley internet company issues that you'd find anywhere else: process issues, technology restraints, projects get descoped due to lack of dev resources. The grass isn't greener elsewhere.
