Pros

eBay is a great place to work. I feel that my management team trusts me and backs me up on the decisions I make. I have a well thought out career plan and my managers support me in accomplishing the goals I set. I am well compensated, excellent benefits, my department is very flexible with paid time off. The sabbatical program is excellent. Free bagels, free soda, coffee, tea, juice, hot chocolate and cider. eBay has great green initiatives and work life balance.

Cons

If I forget to take my badge off outside of work, lots of people approach me with eBay questions.

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
