Pros

Good benefits, latest technology, very strong software release processes, able to purchase MS products for very low cost, very green company.

Cons

eBay will suck the life out of you. My projects requires teams to put in 16+ hours per day on a regular basis. Management needs to roll up their sleeves instead of taking 30 day sabbaticals, working from home and leaving at 3pm while team are working to 3am.

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
