      Great company if you want to work on tough technical problems, comes with tough politics too

      Pros

      Technical Challenges are great and can only be found in half dozen companies. Lots of tough problems to work on from infrastructure to fraud technologies to optimization and AI.

      Cons

      Sheer amount of politics just to get a project booked is comparable to budget negotation up in Sacramento ! Too many politicians and not that many good engineers. Lots of MBAs and none of them are PMs ! Lots of clueless PMs

      Short term challenges, but still one of the best companies in Silicon Valley.

      Pros

      Company with a fantastic business model, and opportunity to gain a tremendous amount of responsibility early in your career, and a great incubator for innovation.

      Cons

      Sometimes difficult to get things done given the size of the organization. Also, our customers have a strong "love/hate" relationship with the brand (particularly sellers).

      Great people, but culture and decision making are becoming unbearable

      Pros

      There are still a number of real interesting challenges and new problems to solve, especially given the size of eBay. Depending on the team within eBay, there is still the abiility to make a significant impact on the business.

      Cons

      Communication from upper management is non existent, especially horrible in the face of layoffs and poor company performance. Priorities shift constantly and decisions are seemingly being made without logic and reason. Confusion is at an all time high, as processes are being dissolved to become more "nimble" but there is nothing to replace it- causing a free for all that grinds positive progress to a halt.
