Pros

Good exposure to payments domain

Cons

The closeness to upper management matters more than work Promotions and oppurtunities are based on who you know and how your boss is placed in the group rather than work Multiple reorgs with no result Lay offs not based on work but on several other factors in nae of streamlining the organization

Pros

Pay is decent and company's prospects are positive

Cons

The most recent re-org at PayPal has been a nightmare. David Marcus said that he was going to simplify things to "GSD" but it turns out that he isn't able to stop the infighting on his executive team so that all the teams under them are confused. You have one senior VP saying that POS is the most important thing to the business and the other senior VP saying that he's going to get it cancelled and therefore, no one knows what to do or how to execute. My entire team is hardly working because we don't actually know what to do!

Pros

Good work life balance Nice facilities Some very smart people (but a lot of mediocre ppl as well)

Cons

It seems like there is a reorg always going on... Not an engineering company, neither a product company, its a business company... Engineers should not come here to enhance their skills... Too many mid level dev managers and project managers who dont understand anything at all and are not involved in anything, I am unsure what their job is...
