eBay reviews

Hard to move anywhere. Pay doesn't increase that much, can be up to 5% yearly but even if your a top performer, some Team leads will find a reason to make it 2%...can be back to back and overwhelming with no Sr. agent support anymore. Don't trust anyone. You get in trouble for doing things for the customer on their account when they ask you to. No sick time, if your sick you lose pto for the year. Cell phone police! We help customers on the app on our phone and get yelled at for having it out...what are we in school???

* They mostly hire average people. If you are above average, you will have a hard time growing. Your ideas get shot down, you get resistance from low performers. *Most senior people wont help you learn the process and tools and there is very less documentation about them. I believe this is a way to keep your seat: Do not write documentation so you cannot be replaced easily by a better engineer. *If you are average or below average you are in paradise. You will get promoted even if you just do minimal work but stay in the company. No incentive to care about the product, the code , or whatever you are doing. * They don't keep up with the technology at all. For almost every tool, they use a custom in-house built one which is 3x worse than an open source one everybody out there is using. * After spending years here you will learn almost nothing new because everything is custom made. It is only relevant if you stay at eBay. If you leave, that knowledge is not valid anywhere else. That is why senior engineers are trying to save their seats by politics and not allowing new engineers to learn. * To write one line of product code, you need to learn about 10 custom build frameworks which do not have API documentation. You just keep asking around, creating help tickets.
