Pros

Amazing business model. A vibrant community. A thriving GLOBAL ecommerce platform that has helped millions of people across the world find what they want and build their lives around it. Truly unique. Plenty of challenges for building the next generation of ecommerce solutions for customers with comprehensive online shopping, payment and communication platforms.

Cons

Absolute lack of leadership and understanding of eBay's core strengths in the executive staff team. Both eBay and PayPal have succeeded given the simple and unique business models. The next couple of years will be the litmus test for eBay as it will witness a fight between the community that wants eBay to succeed and the internal strategies that are destined for failure

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
