      If you're not Indian, do not take a job at PayPal.

      Pros

      - I learned a lot about web application programming. - The pay and benefits are pretty good.

      Cons

      1) PayPal's workforce is more than 70% Indian. Of course, this is not problem in itself. At PayPal, however, the Indians heavily favor their own. They get away with this because they control the place. As a result, if you're not Indian, you have no chance at a good rating or a promotion. If you *are* Indian, you have a cushy job for life. 2) PayPal stack ranks its entire workforce every 6 months. The result is intense competition among "teammates," with lots of backstabbing, politics, and court intrigue.

      Amazing Experience, Great People

      Pros

      Opportunities to learn lots of different technologies. In the time I was there, I worked on an application team, operations team, development team and a security team. It kept me interested as I maxed out my learnings at each assignment. The people are amazing. World class engineers everywhere. I really enjoyed working with some of the best in the industry. The leadership team really cares about the employees, they care about the customers. They truly value their people.

      Cons

      Promotions were difficult. Consistently rated in the top 2 tiers (when there were 5) and in or near the top tier (when it was reduced to 3). Just could never get that promotion. Was pacified with huge raises and bonuses, however.
