Pros

eBay is full of very smart people who are stimulating and fun to work with. The business model, despite any recent criticism, is still one of the best to emerge in a generation.

Cons

The company is in the early stages of a transformation. It's not always clear what we're trying to transform into, and thus it's hard to know if we have the right people to lead through all the changes ahead. Also, a company full of consultants can lead to lots of great strategic thinking, but without robust executional passion and skills, especially as it relates to product.

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
