Pros

nice office and lovely people

Cons

No matter what you are sold in the interview, there is no workalike balance unless you work in the back office, if you work like I do as pleb on the phones you will have no balance. Only 30 mins for lunch and no progression. The only department that is growing is customer support so it is very busy all the time and you do not get a second between calls. You have to deal will all complaints and sellers and buyers giving out over the phone who can get very very abusive with you. It is a very stressful job and you should not just be sold on the job because its eBay!

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.
