Pros
There remain some great people at the company, but they are disappearing rapidly as the ship goes down.
Cons
Current leadership is pursuing the wrong strategies. They are not close enough to the customers to understand their needs and appropriately address them. They look around at the market and say, "who is doing well? OK, let's be like them." There is a failure among the senior team to understand what eBay's value proposition really is and to focus on improving around that. Becoming another Amazon doesn't make sense. The world doesn't need another Amazon.
