Pros

Great Place to Learn. Ample oppurtunities. In other companies, people talk about building software which scales to 100s of thousands of users. At eBay you are exposed to an environment which has 100s of millions of users. A totally different level of scale.

Cons

A but chaotic at times. Management is "raw". There is general reluctance in the leadership to take hard decisions and act on it.

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
