Pros

Free Bagel Wednesdays Free Soda's The eBay name takes you a long way on resumes.

Cons

No management transparency. Secretive about promotions and horrid working conditions. 2-3 people stacked in cubes with no cube walls. Many unspoken rules about how your performance is measured and how promotions are rewarded.

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
