Pros

If you are lucky, you get to work with great teammates.

Cons

PayPal is done. Their competition will consume them. It has become a relic company; only their long-standing, just-as-ancient merchant customers are keeping them alive. Extremely bloated legacy software. Convoluted processes. Leadership is so far removed from the products and processes, it's a wonder why they are even leaders. Managers only care about their head count and saving their own skins; there is zero true advocacy for their reports. The turnover is wild. The company has lost direction and momentum. From the bottom of my heart, I would stay away unless you are strategically joining them for a quick currency grab.
