Worst supervisor team I've ever had

Business Outlook

Pros

Uhhh, free soft drinks I guess.

Cons

Most supervisors are uneducated and seem to automatically dislike people who finished college. Supervisors think they are better than their employees and most brag about their low level promotions. They resist taking escalation calls because they have "more important things to do," like surfing the internet and buying and selling personal items on the site. They constantly find ways to criticize employees, and they fire people for dubious reasons.

Pros

I can't find any reason why you would like to work at eBay in 2019. Work life balance can be good (depends on your team). In the past, it was a stable employer. However there have been multiple layoffs in last 2-3 years.

Cons

Sub-par pay (check paysa for comparison with other tech companies), highly political culture . In engineering, most employees are Asian or southeast asian and they decide culture of the team (for good or bad). For last 2-3 years, there have been layoffs every half year . Management is looking for short term gains and is changing direction every other quarter. One of my former colleague (who got promoted last year) was laid off when she was on maternity leave (see the culture point above mentioned) , was given severance package and asked not to come back from maternity leave (looked like discrimination). If you are not working on payments 2.0 (highly publicized in techcrunch ) or checkout, just leave the company. Anyone else apart from those 2 teams can get laid off. I left it at the right time and I wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends now. Sad to see (once a) great company going downhill .

Do NOT work here if you are looking for a good culture

Pros

Salary is good, that is all.

Cons

The culture is the worst I have ever experiences. Nobody I knew enjoyed their jobs no matter what team they are on. Bullying plays a large role in this company. I will never forget the horrific experiences I had and what I witnessed. Scary place.
