Can be good, can be bad

Pros

The benefits are nice, and the work is engaging. Be glad you're on the PayPal side of the house, and not eBay.

Cons

There's a lot of management here, making the ability to get things done quickly nearly impossible. Everyone wants their hands in the projects, and projects tend to suffer from "too many cooks". Far too often good ideas die on the vine, because the many layers of management can't come to an agreement in a timely manner. The benefits/perks offered to employees in Omaha are far below those offered to workers in San Jose. Omaha employees are often left feeling like the "unwanted children" at a family reunion.

Pros

Lots of thought leaders are being brought in from outside firms with fresh ideas how to grow the company to the next level.

Cons

Challinging culture transitioning from startup to a mature institution. A lot of processes and some irrational expectations from leaders who are disconnected from day / day operations.

Pros

world leader in its field, paypal is indeed the place to be from if you are looking for a career in payments, risk or any related areas.

Cons

politics, underachievement, low level of employees from junior to senior levels. little to no one can keep track of complex ideas, and most people just spend their days with politics and ass-covering.
