Vantaggi
PayPal is one of the more innovative and forward thinking companies, so as an employee you get to work on opportunities that has broad impact on a global economy. The company has stayed a leader in emerging and digital commerce opportunities with continued growth in its customer base - consumers & merchant partners. As you gain experience within the company, there are ample opportunities to explore other roles with management providing flexibility to rotate into different roles. As a brand, PayPal is well know globally and is among the top employers in the US.
Svantaggi
The company has grown in size across the years, making it very hierarchical and making decision making challenging most times. There is also the culture of excessive meetings, power points as a way of communication that affects pace of execution. As you grow in the organization, needing to be politically savvy is important to continue to elevate. There is a the constant competing in priorities to support eBay inc and grow PayPal at the same time which is challenging for the leadership at PayPal. Hopefully with the spin off of PayPal as public company now, will allow it to operate independently to better prospects.
