Pros

Starting pay rate is impressive to the lower class people they hire now

Cons

They claim to be about diversity and inclusion but they only mean that for the bottom of the barrel people they've hired to fill seats on the call center floor. There is no diversity in management or on the second floor, where higher pay grades exist. When you speak up for yourself or expose the injustices, like extremely inappropriate inter-office affairs and relationships, they will terminate you and blackball you in the tech industry.

Pros

Posh exercise facilities and two cafeterias.

Cons

Bureaucracy, politics and nepotism interfere with productivity and expediency. Each day feels like a riding a slow boat to China, kind of like driving over multiple speed bumps in a shopping mall parking lot. This company is a typical American corporatocracy.

Pros

There are many challenging problems to be solved at eBay, which can make for intellectually stimulating work. Also, though the talent level does vary, there are many smart people within the organization who are fun to work with by and large.

Cons

It all starts at the top and eBay is fundamentally lacking in leadership or and vision. The Company is facing enormous strategic challenges but no one has shown me a coherent (and credible) plan for addressing them. Sorry, but "Trust, Value, and Selection" and "Deals you can talk about" just doesn't cut it for me. The people who run the marketplace business have demonstrated time and again that they don't understand technology, product development, and the core problems eBay's site, which leads them to seek quick fixes instead of demonstrating the patience and fortitude to address the big problems which won't deliver short-term benefits.
