Pros

Extremely flexible hours and fun atmosphere. Everyone here is joyous and easy to get along with. The benefits are amazing. Even with small perks, like free soda, or bagels on certain days.

Cons

Nothing as far as the job itself. The upper management has a hard time with actually listening to what the little guys have to say. I don't know why eBay has forsaken the ways of an auction site to move on to a retail site. It seems John Donahoe has turned this plane towards a downward spiral.

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
