      Pros

      Close to home, free food and I have a few friends here

      Cons

      The upper management is not transparent. They are very cliquish. The same executives have been here a while. They make all the decisions in closed-door meetings with very limited input from employees. Hence why eBay's stock is so low and Amazon's are so high the same people are making the wrong decisions. They have frequent organization changes moving the same people UP or Around. They have ideas and instead of taking accountability blame the employee. Employees can not give their opinion or they will be viewed as not being a team player. There's a reason Amazon is better. eBay is organized chaos. It looks a whole lot better from the outside.

      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
