      Very interesting opportunities if you're working in the right groups - consumer, business development, a few others.

      Pros

      Very interesting opportunities if you're working in the right groups - consumer, business development, a couple of others. The people used to be great, but too much mediocre talent coming in lately and too much good talent leaving.

      Cons

      Management isn't really taking care of the employees as well as they should. Tons of churn and process - really difficult to get anything done. And the technology is a mess - it is going to take another 2-3 years to get that sorted out.

      PayPal - fun place to work but not the best career advancement if you are not in product marketing or engineering

      Pros

      The people are great. Some of the smartest and most passionate that I've ever met.

      Cons

      Advancement is difficult if you are in the Program Management Office (PMO). With the PMO being decentralized, it's almost impossible to be promoted unless there's a reorg. Since you are managing one business unit (BU) it's hard to take on additional responsibilities outside of your BU.

      Used to be great, now just okay.

      Pros

      Used to have great people, interesting products. However, the heady days of PayPal have started to fade, now that eBay has put its stamp. The products are still fairly interesting, but people have settled into a vest and rest mentality. Management has become scattered and left for greener pastures. PayPal is still the profit center of eBay and thus will always be decently well-resourced, but you can probably find more interesting internet and payment companies to work for.

      Cons

      More bureaucracy, slow product cycle, less impressive employees than the rockstars that used to work there. Still decent for a large internet company however.
