Pros

PayPal is an awesome company to learn more about payments and e-commerce technologies. What it takes to build a "real business" processing ~4000$ per second Great place to get a name brand experience - wish they treated good employees better!

Cons

The management is good but not what it takes to be leaders of a top 10 internet company - lack the vision and the ability to empower employees to be able to execute on vision

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.
