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

Nice San Jose campus with tennis courts, good cafeteria and gym. Good location, easy access to highway. Commute assistance. Koi pond.

Cons

Silos, politics, power struggles. Poor communications between Eng and support orgs. Customers are nickel-and-dimed, and lied to. Brain-dead UI with no insight into customer end-to-end experience. Omaha support center is a sweatshop that gets lip service from the execs but is treated as an place to clean up problems, not contribute to product improvement. Definitely 2nd class citizens.

PayPal has become a big, big company where it takes a bit of effort to get anything done.
