Pros
There is a saying, ' IF YOU WANT TO LIFT YOURSELF UP, LIFT UP SOMEONE ELSE'. Proud to say that PayPal actually gives me an opportunity to develop my subordinates, which eventually develops my skills as a leader. We live by the rule of Servant Based Leadership whereby while we help facilitate development for our subordinates, our leaders help to facilitate and support our development to go to the next level of leadership. We dedicate one on ones with the teammates and commit to it, which I have never experienced in other companies.
Cons
It maybe sometimes hard to make teammates understand why it is not easy to treat everyone equally because of their personal learning / development style however it is still manageable when we explain to them and care to spend some extra time.
