Pros

Close to home, free food and I have a few friends here

Cons

The upper management is not transparent. They are very cliquish. The same executives have been here a while. They make all the decisions in closed-door meetings with very limited input from employees. Hence why eBay's stock is so low and Amazon's are so high the same people are making the wrong decisions. They have frequent organization changes moving the same people UP or Around. They have ideas and instead of taking accountability blame the employee. Employees can not give their opinion or they will be viewed as not being a team player. There's a reason Amazon is better. eBay is organized chaos. It looks a whole lot better from the outside.

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.
