Pros

You have access to lots of systems to learn new skills.

Cons

PayPal abstracts the hell out of everything, so while you may be in charge of deploying a component to the cloud, you won't actually know how to deploy it using GCP/AWS/Azure tools. Only the PayPal tools. If you are in the DevOps team, then you do know how to deploy using those tools, but you don't get to work on your own components that the public uses.
