Pros

Great work-life balance and nice perks and compensation (e.g., stock units, bonuses, etc.). Free soft drinks and an assortment of snacks; wide variety of companies under the eBay umbrella; highly profitable and only missed bonus payments twice since the early 2000's; a culture of innovation and ability to create your own hours without management watching the clock; 4 week sabbatical after every four years of employment; overall a great place to work!

Cons

Large company fighting the economic downturn; Groups can be a bit overprotective of their general area with a lot of politics; some fragmentation amonst the mergers and acquisitions.

good people doing interesting work, but at a hectic pace

Senior manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The chance to work with smart, passionate people who want to do the right thing for the community of users; good ideas are heard and implemented. There are opportunities to make a difference and push the envelope on innovation given the right managment support.

Cons

The pace is non-stop and expectations about what can be acheived are often unrealistic. Lots of firedrills; always going from one thing to the next. Not a lot of time spent learning or on reflection. Burnout is a big factor. You have to set your own boundaries.

An outdated work environment - managers need to get a clue as to what motivates people/employees.

Pros

Free Bagel Wednesdays Free Soda's The eBay name takes you a long way on resumes.

Cons

No management transparency. Secretive about promotions and horrid working conditions. 2-3 people stacked in cubes with no cube walls. Many unspoken rules about how your performance is measured and how promotions are rewarded.
