      So much potential, so much half-assedness

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of good people, but frequently in inconsequential positions

      Cons

      Too many incompetent people in key positions. Too much terriorialism and an "us versus them" attitude between different groups. Too many over-hyped projects that don't add to the bottom line

      Growing Pains

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. The People - many bright, talented, fun, interesting people throughout the company, and it's generally a pleasure to work with them. 2. Education - PayPal is a complicated business with a lot of moving parts. I've learned more in my time there than in any previous job. 3. Innovation - PayPal does push the envelope with clever new business models and technology, and in that sense it's a lot of fun. 4. Success - The business is doing very very well, growing quickly with strong margins. It's fun to be part of a winning team and feel like you contributed to the company's success.

      Cons

      1. The changing culture - As PayPal grows larger, the style of leadership just isn't as open or collaborative as it used to be. It's become much more hierarchical. 2. Lack of focus - PayPal is trying to go too many directions at once instead of focusing on doing a few things right. 3. Focus on quality - PayPal doesn't invest enough in the quality of their systems and processes and it often shows up as a bad customer experience.
