Pros

Lots of benefits and support for employees, lots of resources available for career and education advancement like a yearly education stipend. Decent compensation, with good refresh grants each year for strong performers. Generally a good brand that people know and trust.

Cons

No clear vision for how PayPal will stay relevant in the coming years. Stock price tanked from $300-$65/share in my time here and it's uncertain things will rebound.
