Pros

eBay is one of the top global brands and it gives the opportunity to billions of people around the world to make a better life for themselves. The work environment is very collaborative and fast paced, your job is never boring!

Cons

eBay's internal structure is very chaotic with constantly shifting priorities. You need to be very flexible / adaptable to work at eBay. It takes some time (months) to be able to navigate that structure and establishing relationships is key to making things happen.

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
