      We're going in the wrong direction with Donahoe at the helm.

      Pros

      Benefits, co-workers, stability, history, security.

      Cons

      No future as a career employer. They promote people based on attitude instead of knowledge or experience. They have no respect for experience or education. It's all about having a magical personality. But that doesn't resolve problems. There is also a lot of cronyism here. Also, there's a lot of the Peter Principle here, where people who shouldn't be in positions because they don't have the experience or the training for it.

      Pros

      Sorry, But I cannot really think of anything very positive to say here. Ebay WAS a great company. Absolutely revolutionary. It literally changed the way the world did business by providing a truly level venue for the free market to operate worldwide. However, the fun friendly spirit of ebay is dead. It is a corporate zombie hell.

      Cons

      Company has lost any sense of what the original ebay community represented. The company has completely lost its vision. The community values that made ebay a fun, friendly, vibrant community are gone, replaced by greed and corporatism. Business schools will study ebay as a model of failure.

      Pros

      I would not recommend or suggest to anyone to work at ebay today. Years ago I would have, but certainly not today. A group of people scattered around the United States ( early ebay employees referred to as "Remotes" ) made ebay a very strong respectable marketplace. The Remotes worked VERY HARD and put in many LONG HOURS. The Remote employee was proud and happy back in the early days before Meg Whitman. The Remotes were NEVER properly recognized for the hard work and dedication to this company. Ask someone today who or what is/was a remote ebay employee and what did they do, and believe you me, not one single person can properly address that question. WHY? Because they simply do not know....they were not there! Oh the storys we all could tell, but it has been suggested we all keep quiet.

      Cons

      ebay used to be the most wonderful place in the world. I was very PROUD to work for ebay. When Meg Whitman "walked" into her position and the new hires began their take over, everything the early employees ( remotes) worked so hard for was quickly dissolved and pushed down the drain. I began to see that ebay was on its way of being a monster, and then of course the evil greedy monster it is today.
