Pros

A digestible environment to be in. Unlike some other companies I've worked at, this was very much chill compared to some of the dog-eat-dog worlds I've been in. People felt like they were working together with you hand-in-hand, and you could create genuine bonds and relationships with those around you.

Cons

Reorgs all the time. I averaged about one every 6 months. I guess that's what happens at a dinosaur of a company. Constant confusion on who's doing what, oftentimes with teams you've never heard of apparently doing the same thing (or trying to). Frequent directional changes, and in recent years mass layoffs.

It is equivalent to winning the lottery for a dream job.

Cons

Sunday work can be challenging- due to daycare challenges, but ebay supports work/life balance so its not really a con

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.
