Pros

Free snacks, free gym. Decent salary

Cons

Where to start. Forget your work life balance. You'll have none. You want time off? You better apply for that afternoon off 6 months in advance. Excessive micromanagement with every second of the workday monitored. God help you if you take too long wrapping up a call. Don't expect to be able to follow up with cases. Ignore all the talk of progression routes. Your development comes second (being generous on that) to answering more calls. Constant negative reinforcement. Little recognition for good work but spend too long off calls and your immediately called out. High turnover eBay touts itself as being there to help their employees but when team leads are needed they are nowhere to be seen. Overworked coaches and staff hold the office together. If issues come up DO NOT expect leaders to be on your side. Avoid at all costs. Looks great on the outside but you will leave at the end of the day miserable

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
