      so much potential, but so much mediocrity

      Pros

      few companies are as much a part of our culture as eBay is - it is a household word; it has good employee benefits, and cares for its employees - the general corporate culture is great; there are many perspectives to the company, and many smaller companies under the "Inc" umbrella so there is much potential in many technical directions

      Cons

      very large company, lots of red tape, many mgmt levels; although technically innovative in scalability, eBay trails other similar sized companies in other technical areas; eBay tends to attempt innovation via acquisition, and that has repercussions; technically, eBay struggles to maintain an environment that encourages excellence and innovation in engineering.

      Good co-workers, but the environment can be a grind.

      Pros

      eBay is one of the largest internet sites, so you can learn a lot here. I also found most of my co-workers are quite competent.

      Cons

      The work environment can be a grind. People are packed in, and they're shoe-horning in even more. I think the only reason why they might tolerate you working at home is if you have leprosy.
