Pros

PayPal is truly the leading online global payments platform, and as such there is no shortage of interesting projects and great challenges to work on. This also attracts a fair share of smart and interesting people. Also, a lot of positive changes in the David Marcus and Dan Schulman era, with the company becoming more innovative, customer focused and agile.

Cons

The downside of the large opportunity is lack of focus. The company is always pursuing one shiny object or another and in recent years took its eyes off the ball a bit in terms of the core business.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
