Pros

The people and the environment are the best reason to work for eBay. They have some of the top services in the industry for employes, which includes: cafe, gym, outdoor grounds, cubicles, computers and support staff. The company cares about your development and success at the company. They offer 20 -40 classes per quarter for self development, which is applicable to any company. The company is open to idea generation and completely supports unconventional thinking.

Cons

Competition and economy effects on the stock market seem to be the biggest downsides of working with eBay. The bay area is competitive and people leave for the next hot idea constantly.

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
