Pros

Fastest growing part of eBay, and a organization that has a global footprint, affording the opportunity to travel and meet a wide variety of businesses.

Cons

The business is in the process of being more tightly-integrated into the rest of the company, which is slowly diluting its culture, talent and willingness to take risk. Its best days are likely behind it.

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
