Pros

- Flexible working hours - Good benefits - 4 weeks sabbatical for every 5 years of service. This is on top of your regular vacation hours. So you can take off 6-7 weeks for every 5 years, if you want. - We still receive RSU (restricted stock units) instead of stock options. In this economy, it's a real bonus that eBay still gives out stocks based on company and personal performance. - Fun working environment. Team outings still occur once a quarter.

Cons

Sometimes, there's a lot of "hurry up and wait" mentality. Information are needed from you urgently at that time but when it's available, no one is really looking at it.

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
