Pros

It's a good name to have on your resume, and you will be working for a company that provides a living to millions of people. Bonus structure is good for a tech company.

Cons

Upper management is inept and tends to "swoop" in and make arbitrary changes to projects without supporting data. Politics is nasty, especially on the business side of things. There is significant favoritism given towards skinny blonde chicks by some senior managers. It takes a lot of work to get products out. John Donahoe is, I expect, going to run the company into the ground; he doesn't understand the eBay ecosystem, and driving Rajiv Dutta out of the company was a truly crazy thing for him to do.

Pros

Health benefits and *some* free snacks

Cons

This place is filled with the most negative, toxic, self-centered "leaders" I have ever seen. Cliques are a major issue in the Austin location and if you're not with them, you're against them. Team leads are degrading, only care about your numbers, and lie about practices and policies to get you to fall into compliance. It is clear who the favorites are as they get special unequal treatment and extra leeway in their performance. You have to literally be best friends with your team lead in order to have any possibility of advancement. Trust is non-existent here. We had a leader that actually fought to keep us supported and developed, but sadly he was alone in his efforts and his peers quickly turned on him and harassed him daily. As a teammate, we should not have been able to pick up on this, but we all saw it happen. We still have a coach who cares about us, but she is facing the same treatment and is being made to look like the enemy. It's only a matter of time before they chase her out too. Our managers don't care about what's happening to us (the people actually taking the calls and talking to the customers), they only care about keeping their team leads dirty secrets and making sure they stay safe. We can all see what's happening, but nobody is able to speak out as we all need a job, especially in todays climate. I have friends who have gone home and cried after clocking out because of how horrible it is here.
