Great Company, Always room for Improvement

Business Outlook

Pros

Contributes to the financial well being of millions and gives many a chance to work for themselves. Great culture overall, though can shaded spots within the company are vastly different than most.

Cons

Steadily moving from a community focused company to a commodity oriented merchandising company. Split with PayPal has opened the door to shifting ideologies.

Pros

eBay, by its very definition, is an economic force that helps mitigate the polarization of wealth. It makes commerce accessible anyone with an internet connection. The team I work with is exceptional, full of people that are both intelligent and kind, who are challenge-oriented and care about our projects and one another. I have been a software engineer for 15 years, and have experienced what we all have experienced, the various joys and frustrations inherent in our business. I have never been happier than I am at eBay, no kidding. Specifics: - An internal VM cloud, available for any developer to spin up a machine with a Linux or Windows image to test an idea or develop a POC - The freedom to innovate. No one is going to hold you back because "we don't do things that way around here." - Compensation is at the top of the scale - The culture strikes a great balance between caring about employees and getting the work done. I like working with people who want to work hard, and who understand that living to work is insane.

Cons

I have been doing this for a while. In my experience, the cons at eBay are dwarfed by the pros. In my experience as an employee, I am challenged, work with a great team, and am well compensated.
