Great people work at eBay. Very casual culture. Career opportunities for young graduates. Depending on organization - opportunities to move around and learn a lot. Fast paced projects.

Cons

Constant organizational changes and realignments means constantly changing reporting structure. Strategy not clear in most cases at the operational level. Some projects have consultant feel- get in get out and no follow up.
