Business Outlook

Pros

eBay is of course an amazing business - this is of course particularly true now of PayPal. Some of the leaders are very talented and the company offers no shortage of interesting business problems to consider.

Cons

The company has completely lost its direction and senior leadership does not seem to understand the issues.

Business Outlook

Pros

eBay Product Mangers have a lot of ownership of the areas they own. eBay is well known in the Valley and from what I've observed, there is a huge alumni network. Generally, eBay'ers are well respected.

Cons

They expect product managers to juggle too many projects at once, which causes burnout. I also think that PMs at eBay get paid less than industry average. Stock price has plummeted over the last 4-5 years. There are a lot of people with underwater options.
