Pros

There are some VERY hard working and talented people that work at PayPal (the people that actually do the work). The PayPal product (what the consumer sees, not the IT product)

Cons

Management / Very poor and disengaged leaders Poor IT and Data infrastructure Very poor leadership Culture promotes those that promote themselves, but not those that perform Lack of industry knowledge Poor controls Politics No accountability. Manage by how well you present versus how well you perform Lack of integrity with leaders Employee satisfaction results shows that the leaders are "happy" while everyone else is not.

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.
