Pros

Good perks, Good people and easy access to work from North Austin. Online commerce is the place to be today, eBay is in middle of making huge strides.

Cons

Marketplace has lot of baggage if you like to code, Old platforms, everything is proprietary, you will get to maintain old code on old platform and its frustrating at times. San Jose and Seattle get all the good work, Austin gets all the left over, not enough commitment from management to grow Austin Site. Way too many folks with H1B.

Pros

Managers are generally very approachable. Great team work. Managers even code a lot; can directly help people to grow a lot. Encourage innovations and open source adoptions. Really large scale and challenging and interesting problems and projects.

Cons

Some teams are pretty busy. Goals are very aggressive. Work life balance is OK. Some projects should use simpler solutions. Employee levels are not bad; but really a big gap compared to facebook/google.

Pros

After stabilizing the company in the market, Donahoe is pushing mid- and senior management to be more innovative and forward thinking. Innovation is starting to flourish, new talent is joining, that originally would have only wanted to go to Google, to innovate. Employees are in the mindset to "better the world".

Cons

Still a few residuals of "old thinking", but they are getting really rare.
