Pros

With so many projects going on at eBay, there is never a dull moment. Management is usually very flexible with working from home and offers great work-life balance. eBay offers quite a great benefits package with on-site gym, generous vacation hours, education assistance program. For some roles, there are lots of opportunity for business travel to outside of the US

Cons

Lots of re-organization that affects employee morale and negatively affect resources Too many different teams and groups within the company, often takes too long to get things done Difficult to get your voices heard within the company Lack of communication within the company about what's going on, what features are being built Old bad ideas just keep resurfacing Company just keeps adding new features on site without thinking about the big picture.

Pros

Work with smart and motivated people (for the most part) Work on a product used by millions

Cons

Projects optimized to keep engineering resources fully utilized. Although important, this often lead to poor decision-making. Poor choice of projects, management can't seem to understand or keep up with the changing marketplace
