Business Outlook
Pros
few companies are as much a part of our culture as eBay is - it is a household word; it has good employee benefits, and cares for its employees - the general corporate culture is great; there are many perspectives to the company, and many smaller companies under the "Inc" umbrella so there is much potential in many technical directions
Cons
very large company, lots of red tape, many mgmt levels; although technically innovative in scalability, eBay trails other similar sized companies in other technical areas; eBay tends to attempt innovation via acquisition, and that has repercussions; technically, eBay struggles to maintain an environment that encourages excellence and innovation in engineering.
