Worst place I've ever worked. Run from this company.

Pros

Compensation is on par with other Silicon Valley tech companies. Work/life balance is reasonable.

Cons

No real strategy, just a bunch of unrelated features and services that release each year. Terribly matrixed with no alignment across teams. It's very common to be working o a project and then find out there is an entire team doing exactly what you are trying to do. No vertical career growth. Most opportunities are horizontal. Terrible culture. So much apathy. No one cares about the quality of what they are releasing. Mediocre results are not only tolerated, they are celebrated. Very poor middle management.

Pros

Great customer impact. Great management, team work is well appreciated and a good place to develop people and technical skills. Sometimes you reach career flats where you want to consider moving around, but depending on manager, its relatively easy to change teams. Lots of opportunities within eBay and Paypal. Relatively new tech stack completely based on open source standards.

Cons

Depending on your area, a lot of domains will end up with similar work. Massive legacy code base and redundant functionality on site.

Cons

Playing catchup to other competitors Limited growth opportunities. Maybe manager to blame Manager never groomed anybody from within the team to step up to the next level
