      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.

      Great mission, kind people, in transition

      Pros

      Colleagues are dedicated to eBay. They believe in it's mission and what we contribute to the world. There will always be a place in the world for eBay and no one has challenged it's core peer to peer platform and "shared purpose" values. If you want to do something at eBay, you can create it, you can learn it and you can go get it. Work life balance is good here so you can do your job and whatever else it is that you want to do, whether it's spending time with your family, taking classes, or working on a side project, etc.

      Cons

      eBay is currently going through a transition. We are in some ways getting beat up in the marketplace and executives are trying to figure out what to prioritize and how to execute. I think it will be a while before things settle down. We have amazing data scientists and incredible amounts of data but not enough data analysts to really make informed decisions. There are so many gut decisions. Lastly, career development needs a lot of improvement. Professional growth is illusive and very political.

      Lacks vision for the future

      Pros

      Engineers at eBay are very, very friendly and collaborative. I suspect a significant causal factor is that a large majority of engineers are immigrants from more community-oriented cultures, which generally promotes a more respectful and familial environment. I loved all my colleagues at eBay during the time I was there. The hardest part about leaving was saying goodbye to these fantastic folks.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, eBay's business outlook is extremely uncertain. After the recent PayPal spinoff, it seems like the new eBay executive leadership is generally more "corporate" and less able to drive true innovation. We've undergone a significant brain drain since 2014, with many of our best engineers leaving the company at a very noticeably higher rate. This has the potential to be a fatal downward spiral, with the talent loss (at both top and lower rungs) making it even harder to attract and retain other top talent. eBay still has a very inspiring purpose and mission, but I'm definitely worried about its ability to compete effectively going forward.
