Pros

Open environment with plenty of room for creativity. If you see something you want changed, don't be afraid to ask, pursue it, and get it done. Generally speaking, plenty of latitude fo learn, grow, and develop uninhibited.

Cons

If you do see a need for change, you have to drive it all the way through. Growth has come with some pains namely smelling like a bigger company with more layering of management.

Pros

PayPal has a very good environment. People are very friendly and always available when you need help. All the employees are very competent and share their knowledge. The business is doing very well which makes day to day work very exciting.

Cons

It is a relatively small office and it is not clear what possible career advancements could be. Most of the employees are contractors or on short term contract. Also, similar companies offer higher salaries.

Pros

Growing company, likely to spin off as a Bank, nice facility, benefits were a good deal, flexible work situation depending on your group. Better than ebay.

Cons

Sweatshop mentality, very high turnover in my team. 3 managers in 6 months, priorities and responsibilities constantly changing. Team was very clique-ish to outsiders/newbies. Manager was more interested in her own career, terrible at motivation, communication. There is a tendency to treat engineers/people like interchangeable work units. I landed into a team that was in a lot of churn, fraught with political upheaval and was very clannish . Not much support for the new employee - basically dropped into the deep end without much assistance and left to navigate on my own. Was warned about that, but very stressful regardless. Reviews of new employees don't seem to account for the fact that the learning curve is very steep.
