Pros

Good business synergies across eBay properties. Early entrance into market gives PayPal momentum. CEO has focus on competitive pressures.

Cons

Political banking-type culture. Cronyism rampant. Resource allocation process opaque and insufficient to sustain current business and makes it hard to get things done. Focused prioritization on investment required. Product managers not able to run their business, but are project managers. Offshore development model highly ineffective.

Great people but that may be team dependent.

Culture is very team dependent. Slow to build things but that's probably to downside to corporate... it all depends on the team that you're on
