Pros

It can appear like a good place to work, but appearances can definitely be misleading.

Cons

Most of the people in lower-management have little to no experience or education. PayPal loves to promote from within, this makes for many inexperienced and not actually motivated "leaders" that really seem to only care about their pay and sabatical. They do not seem to have any motivation to keep PayPal on a good track doing the right thing. Already this is evident in the lawsuits against PayPal, some with non-disclosure agreements and some like the PayPal credit settlement. If the problem isn't addressed and a better HR policy/management in place, PayPal is set to be "old-money", because the track they are on, is not a good one.

Pros

Great people but that may be team dependent.

Cons

Culture is very team dependent. Slow to build things but that's probably to downside to corporate... it all depends on the team that you're on
