Pros

The benefits are nice, and the work is engaging. Be glad you're on the PayPal side of the house, and not eBay.

Cons

There's a lot of management here, making the ability to get things done quickly nearly impossible. Everyone wants their hands in the projects, and projects tend to suffer from "too many cooks". Far too often good ideas die on the vine, because the many layers of management can't come to an agreement in a timely manner. The benefits/perks offered to employees in Omaha are far below those offered to workers in San Jose. Omaha employees are often left feeling like the "unwanted children" at a family reunion.

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
