Pros

Very good organisation , with lot of values and employee caring. Good facilities like gym, cab, cafeteria. Platforms BU working in cutting edge technologies

Cons

Politics, Politics ,Politics everywhere. Don't ever join the Commerce Experience BU in PDCI. There are lot of teams in this BU which just does maintenance. The culture is so sick that no matter how much you work, at the end your rating depends on how close you are with manager. Even the HR's in India are very much inclined towards certain managers, they don't even care to investigate the complaints raised against managers no matter how much attrition is there. There are lot of incapable managers who worked as contractors from companies like CSC and got converted as FTE's. Most of those managers follow a service company like culture.

It is equivalent to winning the lottery for a dream job.

Pros

-easy to start and list items -cheaper shipping than retail -high demand items sell quick -make extra income

Cons

-customers / buyers that put in Cart but never buy. eBay does not survive on window shoppers and neither do I -low demand items can wait for years -need a ton of inventory, but high demand as possible, otherwise you will probably fail like me -buyer fraud - trying to get your items for free -competition where some sellers have items selling way under what you are selling for and they do not seem to care about profit at all based on how low the price is (ie: books) -buyers don't leave feedback especially if you are new, so it makes it really hard to get going -scammers but not a whole lot, definitely if you're new tho
