Great company going through transition

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work on things that have a meaningful impact on the lives of buyers and sellers worldwide - Large scale (both in terms of user base and, perhaps more importantly, money) engineering challenges - You get to work on things that friends and family have heard of and use - Good cultural values as a company - Good product pipeline

Cons

- Lots of old technology that is being replaced (also a pro to some degree but you've got to make the transition and it just isn't fun doing that in many cases) - Short attention span in the business leadership - bias towards quick wins vs. long term multi-year bets that require sustained investment. Not always a customer/product driven mindset. - Tendency to go for shiny objects over less glamorous critical projects - More attention paid to what is presented in ppt/meetings vs. what is really happening at times.
