      Pros

      eBay handles a lot of traffic and has a very innovative architecture. It also scales parallel software development. It's a good place to learn how to design a site for high traffic and high productivity in terms of a lot of feature development.

      Cons

      There is very little place for innovation. Management is averse to rocking the boat, and as a result, the business is stagnating.

      Pros

      Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

      Cons

      Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
