Pros
eBay was the internet darling, and every company wanted to be them. Through my 10+ year career I had the chance to move to different areas of the business including PayPal and learn a lot about how the business functions, the technology, and innerworkings. Pluses: -technology is leading edge -opportunity is there, if you are career minded and watch out for yourself -on the whole, most managers are okay -pay is above average
Cons
It's now a big company. It's slow to move. While they consider themselves innovative and cutting edge, there's plenty of bureaucracy that will hamper nimbleness and ability to react to the market changes. Minuses: -some executives and managers are just completely incompetent -hours are long, especially if you are in product development or QA -can be egotistical attitudes -highly political environment
