Pros

Your work changes peopels lives - people use eBay to do real things... not a fluffy web 2.0 fake idea. This is real people buying and selling real things and you've got to fix real problems. Millions of transactions a day make this a very interesting place to work.

Cons

Missed the boat a few years back on how the market was changing - did not make the right changes in the business and now company is paying the price and has a hard time trying to adjust things. Morale is probably down these days because of that.

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
