Pros

The best reason to work for eBay is to gain insight into what it is like to work for a company that is being managed by executives who are completely out of touch with their customers and overall trends on the web. IF YOU'RE A GLUTTON FOR LIVING IN A CASE STUDY IN THE MAKING...

Cons

Inane quarterly reviews, where original thinking and any level of risk taking is frowned upon. Whatever you do...don't propose that you jostle the 'Golden Goose'. Management plays up the culture of innovation from the Pierre legacy and then repeatedly underfunds anything having to do with true innovation. They They're driven by PR spin and fear without looking inward to the talented people who used to work there.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
