Pros

I have loved my 8 years at PayPal.

Great benefits, good people, and a focus on their mission it seems.

Cons

They say people don't leave companies; they leave management. That is the case for me. There has been terrible churn for the last three years, with four re-orgs after a major internal merger of C-level offices. Each re-org has been worse for my team and morale. Less than ethical decisions, illegal retaliation, and a very strong management bias when it comes to promotions and layoffs.

I have not been promoted in 7 years despite providing extremely stable and popular products for my customers, because I am on a smaller team focused on the corporate side of the business.

Advice to Management

I would say listen to your people, but to do that, you would have to first talk to them instead of talking at them.
