      Pros

      the pay/stock/bonus is competitive, as are their benefits. Many opportunities for lateral movement.

      Cons

      very limited opportunities for promotion or management. The joke is: "the only way to get promoted at eBay is to leave the company then come back" which is sad. Goals are rarely met, resources are ALWAYS scarce, re-orgs occur several times a year, and layoffs happen often. Managers are not trained very well, they're often just top performers who are given a group of people to manage, which we all know rarely turns out well. Lots of churn as a result, which contributes to a culture that is not very firmly set in principles or values, which contributes to a lot of short-term ladder climbing.

      Pros

      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.
