Pros

eBay has strong brand recognition. The company offers flexible working in terms of remote vs hybrid, decent benefits, and opportunities to learn from a large scale global organization. The healthcare options are okay.

Cons

My experience as a Black employee in the Product Marketing organization was deeply disappointing. There are significant disparities in how Black employees are treated and valued compared to others, particularly in titles, compensation, and opportunities for advancement. Many Black employees are in contractor or lower level titles, and there’s a noticeable lack of representation in leadership. While the company as a whole isn’t terrible, the culture within the Product Marketing org does not reflect true inclusion or equity. If you’re a person of color, I would advise being cautious and asking direct questions about diversity, advancement, and support during the interview process.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
