Pros

They have some VERY smart people at eBay. Competitve salary and benefits. Great brand name that provides useful experience and credibility in the job market.

Cons

Org structure WAY too complicated and fragmented. Openly skeptical (if not hostile) to any kind of marketing that cannot be directly measured within a week, month or quarter. Some of the folks in more senior positions are really impeding the potential growth of the company.

It is equivalent to winning the lottery for a dream job.

Cons

Sunday work can be challenging- due to daycare challenges, but ebay supports work/life balance so its not really a con

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.
