      Too many MBA's - not enough people who love the web

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good intentions of management on work life balance. Free soda. Staff cafeteria. Bus with wifi between San Francisco and campus. Most people are great to work with. Good christmas parties.

      Cons

      Good intentions on work life balance worthless when unable to hire even replacement staff while increasing the workload. Decisions made by MBAs who don't know anything about the web or web design, so user experience is awful. San Jose is a hole. Stock options worthless. Too much consensus decision making which means decisions are too slow to make and end up sub-optimal just to compromise. No one single visionary you can believe in.

      eBay attracts a lot of great people, then the company culture beats them down and they leave within a couple of years.

      Pros

      It's a good name to have on your resume, and you will be working for a company that provides a living to millions of people. Bonus structure is good for a tech company.

      Cons

      Upper management is inept and tends to "swoop" in and make arbitrary changes to projects without supporting data. Politics is nasty, especially on the business side of things. There is significant favoritism given towards skinny blonde chicks by some senior managers. It takes a lot of work to get products out. John Donahoe is, I expect, going to run the company into the ground; he doesn't understand the eBay ecosystem, and driving Rajiv Dutta out of the company was a truly crazy thing for him to do.
