Great company to work for

Pros

Key product works great and the company will continue to do well. We are able to execute really well. India development center works great and is a huge benefit for the company. Company has the right culture to constantly improve each organization. Bad executives get weeded out over time.

Cons

Way too political and often to the detriment of the company. Bad behavior is tolerated, HR needs to take a stronger stance. Leadership is often way too conservative and risk averse. Promotion style for senior positions need to be revisited.

Pros

Good work/life balance Work for a leading player in the payments industry Work for a company that people are familiar with

Cons

Too many people at PayPal are working on the same things because senior managers are more concerned with building their empires and taking turf away from others than in the overall good of the company. People get promoted based on who they know and what they look like rather than their merits. PayPal does nothing to advance your career. Want to get promoted? Find a manager who likes how you suck up. Want to find a new role in the company? Do it yourself. There'll be little to no support from your management to find the right job for you. Want to get visibility? Sorry, not here. You feed your work to your manager so he/she can report it up and get visibility for themselves.
