Pros

Bagels, Pop, People, Benefits, Anti Religion and Pro Gay

Cons

A company that has too much money and wins despite itself. Sad to see eBay make so much money when they have no clue what their customers really want. We have so many people working on the same things that its just chaos half the time. If you know how to do a good Powerpoint you can live the dream job. If you know politics even better and make sure you are a yes sir person

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
