Pros

Great people to work with. People support outside-of-work endeavors. Interesting time for the company, given the slowdown of marketplaces. Lots of opportunity to learn cross-functionally. People are very open to meeting and discussing their roles.

Cons

Highly political, advancement can be difficult. Promotion process is unclear and time between promotions is also cloudy. Senior management can be hard to trust. Their communications seem very artificial and overly produced.

Pros

The people at eBay were amazing, they made it fun to come in to work. Most times members would be very grateful for the support which made it easier to deal with the angry members. Agents were always eager to learn and in turn I learned a lot from them.

Cons

Members can be very mean spirited and difficult to deal with. There are some people who worked harder than others meaning that sometimes you would have to pick up their slack.
