      I have been working at eBay Classifieds full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Good work / life balance, lots of travel to Europe and other places. Lots of chances to get hands on emerging technologies.

      Cons

      Dysfunctional relationship between development and operations teams.
      Senior development management does not foster an environment that is conducive to the cohesion of both groups as one organization.

      Advice to Management

      Try to bring product development and site operations together, rather dividing them between locations.

      I have been working at eBay Classifieds full-time

      Pros

      Fastest growing part of eBay, and a organization that has a global footprint, affording the opportunity to travel and meet a wide variety of businesses.

      Cons

      The business is in the process of being more tightly-integrated into the rest of the company, which is slowly diluting its culture, talent and willingness to take risk. Its best days are likely behind it.

      Pros

      Flexible hours, great coworkers, good benefits. Their Stubhub building has decent amenities.

      Cons

      eBay as a whole seems to know it's in a rut. But their doesn't seem to be a lot of desire to change things, for better or worse.

      Advice to Management

      Definitely keep spearheading the initiatives to modernize the product. The company needs it.

      Pros

      Great team overall, including both engineering and business. Frequent team-building events. Work with people from the whole world, due to distributed nature of the business. Challenging engineering problems and multiple opportunities for professional growth.

      Cons

      Multiple entities with similar needs, but standalone tools, this often leads to reinventing the wheel and varying implementations which can be hard to work with.

      Advice to Management

      Unify common tools across businesses, leverage the fact that there's a high degree of synergy between different units.

      I worked at eBay Classifieds (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      As a former employer, what attracted me to this team was the lure to take on the other established players in classifieds like Craigslist, and also a rapidly growing business in Canada. Work was plenty, and there were many different opportunities to show our technical know-how and we had a CTO who knew technology and how to promote us back in 2010 - 2011. Our team members also regularly travelled to our businesses in Australia, Asia, and EU to share technical knowledge and business strategies - we were based in San Jose but operated like a global team which is unique n the marketplace.

      Cons

      Since the last reorganization the organization pretty much has flipped upside down. Technology has now become an afterthought, a drag. Development team gets no recognition for any accomplishment whatsoever. Our senior leader has also brought on a complete cultural shift in early 2013 that thrives on death marches and to meet the senior leadership's ego of meeting numbers at a quarter end, at the expense of employee lifelihood and customer experience.

      The organization has morphed to one where skills like selling a used car is recognized then building one. People management skills of several of our leaders are more than questionable. This mode is not sustainable long term.

      There are also questionable hiring policies employed by one arm of the team, who only seems to bring on new members of a certain descent. I'm not sure if this meets eBay's policy of diversity hiring.

      Advice to Management

      I'm not sure what advice to give. Since my departure I've learned several talented people who have already left for our competitors or other parts of eBay as there's no growth opportunity. These individuals were crucial in building the business. I would advice prospective candidates to look elsewhere.

      Cons
