Cons

They focus on the small issues and ignore huge opportunities for improvement; they ignore issues until they grow to the point that it requires immediate attention and a legal/ financial risk. Little accountability ( positive or negative - Management takes "Feedback" from employees as personal attacks and sometimes have retaliated in an unprifessional/childish manner. Instead of making necessary changes to excel, it seems like the problem areas in the company are covered-up and somehow twisted in a positive light and turned into promotions or other bonuses. Too many conflicts of interest to count.

Advice to Senior Management

Feedback is part of the eBay product and internal feedback to management should be viewed as an opportunity to improvethe customer experience and improvements for the shareholders. Don't take feedback personally and instead make the changes to improve our brand. Stop "coasting" and strive for excellence in the workplace. eBay employees are over worked, under-paid, and feedback is not considered - stop getting defensive about things and make positive changes instead.
