Pros
Many good, well-intentioned employees Good pay Good benefits (medical, dental, vision, equity, bonus)
Cons
Insanely political Progress-stifling bureaucracy Huge say/do gap Disingenuous about company values, purpose I worked at eBay for 6 years, and my immediate team was the always the best part of the work. While John Donahoe and team made mistakes that led to the division of eBay and PayPal, they had a steady hand on the wheel and were unfailingly professional and respectful of the staff. Post-separation, there were high hopes for Devin Wenig and team, but while they have smarts and talent, they're also primarily focused on being technology moguls (veering towards tech bros) and in the news along side other SV leaders. While they talk a good game about eBay's purpose (supporting the creation and growth of small businesses), in the end their profile with media and the stock price are what the focus on (and always in the short term). Oh well.
