Good People and Culture, Perks Could Be Better
Pros
**Pros:** The new eBay Bengaluru office is a great place to work, especially in terms of work–life balance and culture. The hybrid setup (3 days in office) is practical, and the environment is full of talented, smart people you can genuinely learn from. Free food and cab facilities are a big plus, and the San Jose team is supportive and easy to collaborate with. The office itself is growing fast, which adds a positive buzz across the floors.
Cons
**Cons:** Some benefits can be improved. Competitors provide stronger perks—an in-house gym or better fitness reimbursement would be valuable additions. The transport facility is helpful but restricted due to limited slot options. We receive eBay coupons frequently, but high international shipping from India makes them hard to use. More local merchandise (shirts, bags, goodies) would be appreciated, especially since distribution is very limited. Team bonding could be better. With new people joining almost every Monday, more team dinners or get-togethers would help build stronger connections. A year-end shutdown or a short holiday week would boost morale. Also, employees joining after October not being eligible for the current hike/bonus cycle feels a bit discouraging.
