eBay Reviews

Current Employee – been working at eBay full-time for less than a year

Pros – Very professional yet super casual. Not too much office gossip.

Cons – It's in Draper. If you work swing shift, you can't use public transportation.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work.

Current Employee – been working at eBay full-time for more than a year

Pros – You will be rewarded for your efforts, and you will be able to be heard by management. There is a growing culture of innovation, too.

Cons – Change and innovation may not happen as quickly as you would like. eBay is a big company and can take a while to adopt or understand that there is a change that's needed (although it's lessening as they adopt new methodology, technology and infrastructure).

Former Employee – worked at eBay full-time for more than 10 years

Cons – It is getting large and there is more office politics than needed.

Advice to Senior Management – Do a better job of keeping early employees at eBay instead of hiring from outside the company when there are plenty of loyal employees waiting to move up after years of hard work.

Current Employee – been working at eBay full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Great people to work with. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the brightest, fairest and down to earth managers throughout my working life.
If you have the potential then you do have a clear path to progress in your career, within your domain or cross functionally.

Cons – There are some areas of the business with chaotic management and unrealistic expectations causing everyone to try too many different things haphazardly, resulting in increased stress levels and lowered productivity.
In certain areas of the organization there is huge imbalance in the number of employees asking questions vs. those answering them or implementing changes. For instance - for some products there are greater number of BU and PMs vs. PD and analytics. In these teams work life balance can be hard to come by if you are part of the latter two teams.

Advice to Senior Management – Very glad to see we are spending more time and energy on innovation. Please continue to encourage this. I think it is the right focus for a business close to its saturation point looking for a step function increase in growth.
