Pros

Pay is competitive for the Silicon Valley but this is not a technology destination.

Cons

Management in the technology organization at PayPal is terrible. No vision, no strategy and they flounder constantly on how to make decisions. A bunch of do nothing bankers have been brought in and their solution to any problem is layering of people to insulate them from any accountability.

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.
