Work here if you do not want a personal life

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, latest technology, very strong software release processes, able to purchase MS products for very low cost, very green company.

Cons

eBay will suck the life out of you. My projects requires teams to put in 16+ hours per day on a regular basis. Management needs to roll up their sleeves instead of taking 30 day sabbaticals, working from home and leaving at 3pm while team are working to 3am.

Business is short-sighted and devotes insufficient resources to developing a robust, maintainable product

Operations engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Usually great communication between different teams within operations, much better than a few yeras ago. Flexible hours, most employees allowed to WFH 1+ days a week.

Cons

Senior management rarely present, shows almost no concern for rank and file workers or their projects. Product development doesn't understand operations very well. When enhancements are requested, PD will commit to delivering the enhancements, then never follow through. All PD work is purely business driven. This is understandable for a startup, but not for an established company of this size. It is only by pure luck that we haven't suffered more outages as a result of PD's & Business not spending more time on implementing best practices in regards to maintainability of PD's products. QA is also chronically underfunded.
