Pros

Is one of the largest online business to gain experience from. Hires on H1B and one of the best legal teams assist with immigration work. Has decent medical benefits. Is very engaged with its user community and supports green initiatives

Cons

Managers are very incompetent - young and inexperienced who grew up the ladder too fast Career development is non-existent Lack of appreciation (through emails/ awards) and pathetic compensation Movement within eBay is also discouraged and if you manage to it is quite painful Compared to other bay area companies benefits are not great Work from home is almost discouraged

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.
