Pros

First major player in eCommerce space. Still has scale and traffic and range of relevant problems for engaged employees to tackle and learn/grow

Cons

After PayPal split, eBay announced management estimates to grow <4% year over year. No clear strategic direction and constant re-org prompted workforce to leave. Current attrition is 25% annualized.

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
