Pros
I work for Paypal, a company owned by Ebay. Paypal has 70M+ active users and it is a challenge to keep the system up that works flawlessly. My main responsibility is to write software using C++ in Unix environment. With more than 6 years of experience in software development, I enjoy doing this and each day I learn something new. Sometimes new features of C++ which I put it in practice. Other times tackling live-issues and debugging code.
Cons
Stressful at times, supporting opeartions till late night, complex code base, maintenance work. Paypal is too process driven company and sometimes it is just frustrating
