Pros

Good upside potential if they ever fix all of the problems.

Cons

Confusing / inconsistent strategy at the top; polticians have completely taken over the top ranks and are skillful at burying their failures in bs versus actually confessing to serious mistakes and correcting them. Technical emphasis is on buzzwords ("SOA", "Cloud Computing") versus actually shipping products. Product development is broken. Fear and politics drive technical decisions. People (externally) are starting to hate eBay so it's harder to be proud of where you work.

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.
