Pros

Good benefits. CEO trying to bring good changes.

Cons

Leaders (VP and above) don't get along and don't work together. Focus on pleasing leaders rather than doing what is right for the customer. Lot of legacy, both in PayPal and acquired companies. Growth is based on being in the club rather than performance. Most top ranked employees have already left.

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.
