Pros

If you are into payments, especially mobile payments, risk algorithms, distributed, scalable systems, then PayPal may be a place to work for a few years.

Cons

The company is changing its culture. The real problem is the company hasn't figured out what it wants to be – an old-time banking company or a payments startup. This shows at every level and in every decision.

Unfortunately, this has been going on for the last few years, and there's no end in sight.
