eBay Reviews

Pros

I never expected working at a large company to be like this. EVERYONE is on the same team. No one is unapproachable. Everyone wants everyone to do well. I have felt supported since day one, and that includes both the support I need to do my job, as well as the support I need to grow. I've been to headquarters in San Jose, and it's such a great environment. The level of talent is impressive, and you can always find ways to challenge yourself. Everyone is encouraged to bring their ideas forth. I really love it.

Cons

I haven't found any cons yet!

Pros

Fun Great Culture Work/life balance Collaborative Great Colleagues Great Leadership Inclusion Community

Cons

There are no cons. I love working at eBay!

Pros

-Benefits are fantastic, and there are a lot of them. -Lots of upward mobility options. You can grow within the role and move into other departments. -Pay is OK- when I first started, it was better and there were more consistent raises and general clarity, but it does pay the bills. Opportunities to get bonuses and prize money -Engagement is fun, even remotely. Lots of contests for gift cards and eBay branded stuff. Also semi-frequent gifts (ie gift cards, eBay swag, etc.) -The people are great, for the most part. A good manager will completely change your experience and make it much more positive. Lots of mentorship opportunities and the teams are great too with lots of fun banter and close relationships. You will make friends. -Great diversity and a genuinely inclusive community. Lots of cultural events and groups you can join, and a general sense of safety regardless of identity. Also great benefits for parents and LGBT+ couples -Work from home is great, and they provide all of the equipment tech wise. Hybrid options available too if you’re into that kind of thing. -Fair holiday scheduling

Cons

-PTO system isn’t the best -You often are pushed through departments in large cohorts, even if you don’t want to be (for example, moving from buy/sell to returns without applying) -Pay structure is incredibly (and probably intentionally) obtuse which makes it very difficult to discuss pay with coworkers or request raises. -Shift bids are a nightmare and always anxiety inducing as it often happens without warning and can change your schedule completely. -Poor management, or sometimes no management if between hiring, can make the job miserable and exhausting. -Big focus on metrics, though the systems of displaying metrics are often confusing and targets change semi regularly. Might not bother some people, but I didn’t enjoy this aspect of the job. -General customer service exhaustion. People get very heated over their money, feedback, etc. This isn’t specific to eBay but a down side for sure. -GIFT CARDS. Almost everyday you will talk to someone who fell for a gift card scam and there is NOTHING we can do about it. While it makes sense, I wish the system would be revalued somehow. These are also exhausting and very sad calls, and an absolute drain. -Communication between departments can be unclear and frustrating- seems to be a lack of cohesion here and you will definitely run into miscommunications and incorrect transfers -Some exciting and innovative programs and lines of business, BUT lots of complaints about these, especially once eBay became their own payment processor. Program rollouts can be confusing and poorly thought out.
