You qualify for a sabattical every 5 years. They have great benifits. They work hard to try and give their employees additional training and opportunities within the company.

Depending on the position you are in the work can be very repetitive.
Pros
PayPal is an awesome company to learn more about payments and e-commerce technologies. What it takes to build a "real business" processing ~4000$ per second
Great place to get a name brand experience - wish they treated good employees better!
Cons
The management is good but not what it takes to be leaders of a top 10 internet company - lack the vision and the ability to empower employees to be able to execute on vision
Advice to Senior Management
Provide employees with more avenues to explore and innovate outside of the "core' which for obvious reasons needs to remain well protected and slow moving.
Pros
Great product! Definitely something that will be around for a long time.
Cons
Dealing with incompetent management, especially in the Compliance Department
Advice to Senior Management
The head of Compliance should be terminated.
Pros
Great place to work if you are interested in Payments.
Cons
Paypal is the leader in online payments and is now being lead by Bankers, and is becoming more like a Bank than an innovative startup it once was.
Advice to Senior Management
Focus on innovation, go back to your startup roots and stop hiring Bankers for top leadership positions.
Pros
Employer friendly, work life balance, easy on immigration policies
Cons
management is biased to few people and they dont listen everybody
Advice to Senior Management
be open to ideas
Pros
An interesting place to work at. If I have chances to choose another time, I would also like to choose Paypal
Cons
None of the materials are applied, but I think there might lie some disadvantages around the downside risk in Ebay
Advice to Senior Management
If there are chances to advise to management, I would like to say that the company can utilize all its materials into helping youngers grow in the company
Pros
High class cafeterias
Free AC Transport
Flexible work timings
Work life balance
Cons
No Green environment in Paypal
Advice to Senior Management
Doing a great job Pal
Pros
Clear vision from Senior Management
Great office perks (as most big tech companies have in the valley)
Smart peers
4 week sabbatical after 5 years
Fast-growing company
Great stock purchase program
Cons
16 vacation days with no sick days, a little low for the industry
Its a big company, so many who come from a 'start-up' background may think its slow
Advice to Senior Management
Add a few more vacation days
