Pros

You are trusted to manage your job or function without being micromanaged. Fresh ideas and innovation are encouraged and if you make a compelling case you are empowered to implement your plans. The pace and rate of change - while sometimes taxing - means there's little chance of becoming bored.

Cons

The culture is one of managing-up where individuals who can talk a good game often are recognized and promoted while others with integrity and actual results are often overlooked. There is more focus on looking inward and telling a good story internally than really listening and responding to the customer -- and our stock price reflects this.

Pros

great brand name, real impact on people's lives, removing inefficiencies from marketplaces - its nice to work for a company that is universally known (but sometimes passionately hated as well)

Cons

way too much bureaucracy - too much "its not on my list", and this year, a lot of fear around layoffs and constrained resources. product changes are slow. existing processes are inflexible. the company has carved work into so many little pieces that its hard to find any ownership. too many ex-consultants and ex-bankers in leadership - we need more operating expertise to run a company. much too focused on powerpoint decks instead of real bold action and experience.

eBay is too top heavy and political

Pros

The benefits package is good. My team is reasonable in their expectations when it comes to work/life balance.

Cons

Compensation here is lower than average. Promotions are given based more on politics (who used to work with whom at a previous company) than actual job performance.
