Pros

Co-workers aka Team DiTR were AWESOME. Free food and drinks

Cons

Horrible management, they say they care but they don't. You tell them something in private and they say you can trust them but then go behind your back and tell other managers like high school. MANAGEMENT IS A JOKE THERE. Also if you want to move up within the company, you will have to do a lot of lateral movements first before they will ever consider a promotions. Since i was in the Appeals Dept. we were constantly getting yelled at all day and getting calls mistransfered to you and you could get a survey on that. If its a bad survey that will effect your bonus. A lot of teammates would transfer to the Appeals dept so they don't have to deal with the screaming customer and it would not effect their survey which would not effect their bonuses. Oh i don't even think of missing a day, they will give you an Occurrence and you are only allowed 6 Occurrences. If you are passed they you will be terminated, no matter if you have a family issue, sick, or a funeral. Also if you would like a day off even if you have PTO, Its a pain to get that day off even if you have PTO. Recruiters are a joke as well, they will tell you that they will work with you and your schedule if you had any particular needs. They say you will have one weekend day off, in which none of these were true. They give you false hope and promises. Recruiters are not held responsible or accountable and of course there calls are not recorded, so its your word against theirs.

Pros

Challenging work, great company culture. There is something genuinely motivating about building for a brand that everyone knows and uses: the scale and real-world stakes make the work feel meaningful. The AI work specifically is at the frontier of applied AI: production systems, hard problems in agentic workflows and evaluation, and real customer impact. Good work-life balance. Leadership is more engaged and technically credible than I expected from a company this size — when I built a prototype, senior stakeholders engaged substantively and supported continued investment quickly. Competitive compensation, sharp colleagues, and a well-sized Austin office with a focused, collaborative feel.

Cons

Like any tech company, there is some legacy code to deal with which can cause friction. That said, eBay has made meaningful progress on modernizing the tech stack and has genuinely embraced the latest tools: AI development here uses current frameworks and infrastructure, not decade-old patterns. Large company coordination processes (security reviews, cross-team alignment) can slow things that could move faster, and vendor partnerships add some communication overhead. But the reach of what you build makes it worth the extra overhead.

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
