Pros

Excellent benefits, compensation, beautiful environment.

Cons

Strong resistance to change, streamlining, team work. If you're happy maintaining status quo you'll be fine with this company. If you want to make a change, and be a part of something dynamic and synergistic this is not the place for you. Lots of people made a lot of $$ with eBay (stock splits of the early 2000's), politics a bit thick for my taste.

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
