Pros

Excellent infrastructure and facilities Latest technologies to work on Air-conditioned and wi-fi buses Work from home facility

Cons

Politics - is the serious thing that makes the whole environment a hell. Everyone above managers have attitude problems Salary, promotions and awards are only for people who managers like and not based on the individual's performance. All decisions are very biased towards developers and if you are a tester @ Paypal, then its time to look out for some good organization where testers are respected. Biased decisions in making permanent positions. Organization spends a lot towards extra-curricular activities but less on individual's growth. No Career counselling. No transparency in important decisions. 0% help from HRs - HR's over here are just come for timepass, dance and to participate in special events. They really dont care about employee's problems. Contracters are ill-treated by both the management and by their own HRs

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
