ebay Search is most political/ worst group I ever worked in my career

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary/ mac book. Stock is doing fine.

Cons

eBay search is run in a very disorganized fashion. They are developing new search engine which only few folks are allowed to touch. Rest of the engineers are not utilized properly and no one cares for the end product. Most of engineers have left the group and many are in process to leave the group. Managers lack technical expertise and are busy in playing politics and using one against other. This was not the case earlier. I will seriously advice you not to join the search group as this will be total waste of time.

Business Outlook

Pros

My manager and (most of my) colleagues were professionals, and it was a pleasure to work with them. Great benefits. Good work life balance. My manager was fine with me working from 6-8 at home, and then from 9-4 at the office.

Cons

Physical environment was awful for software development. Salary was not competitive, even when compared to those performing similar work in the company. I got decent performance bonuses, however I object to distribution "on a curve", where managers essentially have to duke it out so their reports can get decent bonuses. This ingrains a belief that you can't have a team where multiple people are performing at "exceeds expectations"-- which isn't true.
