Pros

People are super smart and there are a lot of great ideas generated when everyone gets together. The eBay brand is still admired by many outside the company, and it's known as a place that recruits top talent. Not sure if that's necessarily as true as it used to be, but I certainly value the contacts I've made there more than at other places I've worked.

Cons

People are super smart, so there can be a lot f political backbiting and indecision when there are too many ideas on the table.

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
