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.

Pros

Paypal is a fast paced environment and one of the fastest growing properties of eBay. It's a place where you can get things done with a lot of red tape. However if you succeed, you are golden. Otherwise, you get stuck on mundane projects. This is why most folks are gunning for the big projects. It's great working with driven people but I think the senior management doesn't have a good grasp on the future of the company.

Cons

Churn, upper management caught up in politics and lack of leadership. Scott is a decent guy, but I'm not sure if he's a good strategist. He's not a people person either. However to most people, he's so high up the chain it doesn't matter.
