      Pros

      Internship program is extremely well thought out, with activities, speakers, and ways to network with everyone at eBay. eBay has a positive culture -- encourages work-life balance and cross-communication between departments.

      Cons

      The team I was put on wasn't very diverse. Furthermore, the project I was assigned felt very isolated from the team's work.

      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
