Pros

eBay is a safe and secure place to work for the next five years. However, the lack of innovation and expansion as the market has changed means the long-term future is more mixed.

Cons

eBay was a great company in 2000, but it has not evolved. It's lack of technical and product leadership has lead to a situation where the product is not evolving to take advantage of the changing market place.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
