Pros

Paypal has a system that provides good knowledge transfer through training and tech talks. Sabbatical is earned after several years service.

Cons

There is an extremely high turnover rate in the company. Make sure you know this before you accept a position. The codebase is atrocious, though there are efforts to modernize and improve it.

Pros

Great people but that may be team dependent.

Cons

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
