      Pros

      Pay is higher than competitors, but it is definitely taken out of your hide. Understaffing is common as is a hostile work environment.

      Cons

      Long hours, incompetent managers and directors, more time spent kissing ass and CYA than doing work, lack of vision, status quo is the goal. Org is totally top-heavy and does not have enough people that actually work.

      Still a great place to work but could use some improvement

      Pros

      The eBay environment is warm and friendly and the company does a great job of trying to keep things "human". The benefits and salary are competitive with an attractive 4 week sabbatical after 5 years of service. Employees are encouraged to be true owners of their deliverables.

      Cons

      The company has a huge list of to-do's but lacks the right staffing to stay agile. Work-life balance will always be a challenge. The company priorities are cloudy across the enterprise and across the portfolio of companies.

      eBay is a good company, but no longer a great one.

      Pros

      eBay has great benefits, including inexpensive medical, profit sharing, a month-long sabbatical every 5 years, and nice work-life balance. At the operational (bottom) level, managers listen to employees. However, there seems to be a communication barrier between the operational and tactical level of the company. This is especially true with the newly-installed top level of mangement in SLC and lower managers.

      Cons

      Management seems to be having trouble knowing what they need to do to turn things around, and they seem unwilling unable to listen to lay employees' ideas.
