      Overly political and unfocused

      Director

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      close to home (That's about it)

      Cons

      • dysfunctional culture: people don't reply to emails, don't answer phones, don't show up for meetings even when their calendars show them available, etc. • much of mgmt focused on building empires, not great products...and decisions follow • while there are some good people, much has seen "bozo explosion" with folks that are apathetic / don't care / barely show up to pick up their paycheck. • little innovation • poor decision making process (Very reactive with frequent 180 degree direction changes) • insane amounts of technical debt • horrific HR policies that protect Directors and above at ALL cost. • most folks seem to arrive 10a and leave 3p (based on parking lot) - not sure if/how required work gets done

      Don't believe it

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of (mostly) indian food on campus. Poor performers who want to give others their work to do are welcome.

      Cons

      - Poor performers are rewarded same as those that know something - Huge nepatism - Unethical management getting kickbacks and gaming things - Stagnant development and incremental projects (similar to a bank)

      Don't Let the "Values Talk" Fool You

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many good, well-intentioned employees Good pay Good benefits (medical, dental, vision, equity, bonus)

      Cons

      Insanely political Progress-stifling bureaucracy Huge say/do gap Disingenuous about company values, purpose I worked at eBay for 6 years, and my immediate team was the always the best part of the work. While John Donahoe and team made mistakes that led to the division of eBay and PayPal, they had a steady hand on the wheel and were unfailingly professional and respectful of the staff. Post-separation, there were high hopes for Devin Wenig and team, but while they have smarts and talent, they're also primarily focused on being technology moguls (veering towards tech bros) and in the news along side other SV leaders. While they talk a good game about eBay's purpose (supporting the creation and growth of small businesses), in the end their profile with media and the stock price are what the focus on (and always in the short term). Oh well.
