      Pros

      You'll learn from the market leader in eCommerce, auctions, online payments, classifieds and VOIP communications

      Cons

      You'll be worked very hard - eBay is known for working their employees to submission. The salary/bonus and perks compensation is not par with industry in Silicon Valley either. Many people leave eBay for Yahoo, Google or comparable sized companies and instantly get a 20% bump in their salary, usually for a lateral job. Job titles are inconsistent here, often deflated. It's hard to get promoted. Politics is terrible too, and management isn't stongly versed in new trends on the internet. Technologists don't get much respect or say in things because management doesn't understand it. Truly old company management.

      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
