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.

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.

Pros

Job stability, they rarely fire full time employees.

Cons

Mediocre people's paradise because promotion and recognition is not based on what you have achieved but how close you get to your boss.
