Pros

Lots of opportunities for learning & taking on exciting challenges
Great idea & business model, in need of folks to achieve its full potential instaed of screwing it up

Cons

Missing a leader who can address the conflicts & not just call them out
eBay needs to unschakle Paypal
Look beyond myopic costs cutting as a short run driver of bottomline growth

Advice to Senior Management

Invest in Paypal instead of going after fancy ideas like Verisign, Skype or BML
Get a new CFO for Paypal who can drive financially sound decisioning
Invest in the core architecture, system & tools as we're a "product" company and only as good as the product. Instead of trying to bring "expert" from outside to drive marketing, startegy and banks, which at best is wasteful and at worst counterproductive.
