Pros: Cool work culture, flexible timings, WFH options, a lot of extra benefits.
Cons: If unlucky, one may get stuck in some politics. The location is Chennai, which becomes a big factor in good people moving out of the company. Bangalore has started just now.

Software Engineering Manager • Former Employee
San Jose, California, United States
July 22, 2016
Pros: Brand value, market leader in payments, smart folks overall. Consistent growth.
The campus in San Jose is nice. Some groups have a good amount of fun.
Cons: Too many reorgs in the product area. Ex-eBay "leaders" are killing the culture of bottom-up innovation. Some key tech "gurus" prevent any kind of change in infrastructure.
