Hello and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! Our Sabbatical program is unbelievable - 4 weeks paid vacation every 5 years to recharge and return to work re-energized helps to keep our employees happy and able to spend time outside of work to do things that they love. Under Jamie's leadership, we're doubling down on who we are as a company and returning to the basics, so hopefully in the coming months and years you can feel like we've regained our identity back! If you'd like to share more, please email glassdoorfeedback@ebay.com.

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
