      Pros

      Smart people in general. People naturally want to succeed. Turn around is a real mantra. Global presence. Easy to move around the company.

      Cons

      Promotions are rare. People are brought in a level below their experience level. Not an innovative company. Most people use the company as a stepping stone. Rare that people stay more than 4 years.

      YMMV: highly dependent on your function, management, and executive support

      Pros

      eBay was the internet darling, and every company wanted to be them. Through my 10+ year career I had the chance to move to different areas of the business including PayPal and learn a lot about how the business functions, the technology, and innerworkings. Pluses: -technology is leading edge -opportunity is there, if you are career minded and watch out for yourself -on the whole, most managers are okay -pay is above average

      Cons

      It's now a big company. It's slow to move. While they consider themselves innovative and cutting edge, there's plenty of bureaucracy that will hamper nimbleness and ability to react to the market changes. Minuses: -some executives and managers are just completely incompetent -hours are long, especially if you are in product development or QA -can be egotistical attitudes -highly political environment

      Pros

      - This is a time in which the company is very open to new and innovative ways to do things better. Lots of room for input and creativity. - Some very smart people here. Everyone I've interacted with so far seems to at least carry their own weight. - Generous compensation (if you're willing to negotiate) - Technology leadership decisions/goals are more transparent than I've seen at other places. - Flexible about time off/telecommuting (though this may be dependent on your manager)

      Cons

      - There's certainly a bell curve in terms of talent. Some people are amazing but many others, while they do their best, are just OK. - Communication/transparency with offshore teams is difficult. Domestic management seems to have less control/influence over these teams then they should. - Documentation and formal processes are lacking. This makes getting up to speed and getting things done very difficult at first.
