      Pros

      When eBay was growing like gang-busters, there was no other place to be. We were building fabulous products, we were excited about what it enabled for eBay's community of users, we were working hard but loving every minute of it. We felt we were making a difference!

      Cons

      multiple layers of decision-making. too many processes. lack on innovation. Senior Management made questionable decisions.

      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
