eBay reviews

Once you're promoted past a certain level, promotions tend to be much more political. Probably not something exclusive to eBay, but it's not a great thing to experience. Also, frequently, someone of questionable merit gets promoted and that compromises the integrity of the process. Warring factions sometime create lack of role clarity which leads to a tremendous waste of time, time that could be spent on moving the business forward. Lastly, there's a significant trend toward "alpha male" executives which feeds the "warring factions" feeling.

It is a large company and frequently changes are made without properly informing employees or giving tools or forethought to the details of the changes. Within the company, information and reasoning is frequently confidential, hidden without specific reasons explained as to why certain policies and procedures exist or don’t exist. This can make resolving a problem difficult. There is also very little information given about future goals and vision, large changes are made giving a heads up only days in advance. The company is attempting to strengthen its position in a reactive manner by trying to become more like competition which ultimately makes changes frequent.
