Pros

I spent 9 years with ebay, the IT at ebay used to be good before political hijacked the company in 2012-2014.

Cons

As of two levels down from the very top of the President, the higher IT management is rotten and incompetent, nothing gets done, everyone is too busy playing politics. Turnover is horrendous, all my team members left including me.

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.
