      Pros

      Good upside potential if they ever fix all of the problems.

      Cons

      Confusing / inconsistent strategy at the top; polticians have completely taken over the top ranks and are skillful at burying their failures in bs versus actually confessing to serious mistakes and correcting them. Technical emphasis is on buzzwords ("SOA", "Cloud Computing") versus actually shipping products. Product development is broken. Fear and politics drive technical decisions. People (externally) are starting to hate eBay so it's harder to be proud of where you work.

      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
