Great pay and opportunities, but lacking in management, vision, promotions, and future potential

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

the pay/stock/bonus is competitive, as are their benefits. Many opportunities for lateral movement.

Cons

very limited opportunities for promotion or management. The joke is: "the only way to get promoted at eBay is to leave the company then come back" which is sad. Goals are rarely met, resources are ALWAYS scarce, re-orgs occur several times a year, and layoffs happen often. Managers are not trained very well, they're often just top performers who are given a group of people to manage, which we all know rarely turns out well. Lots of churn as a result, which contributes to a culture that is not very firmly set in principles or values, which contributes to a lot of short-term ladder climbing.
