Pros

From a technical point of view, it's difficult to get similar experience in terms of scale of operations anywhere else. You have to deal with issues of scalability and complexity of flows that are pretty much unique in the industry.

Cons

Most of the knowledge of the complex systems are pretty tribal.

Pros

Fun Co Workers. Not Much Else. Its a job

Cons

Management is horrible. They do not listen to there employees. Very hardheaded. The company is being run into the ground led by Donahoe and his cronies. We interact with ebays customers on a daily basis. We hear the complaints and problems user are facing when they use the site. Management is unwilling to change there boneheaded policies to better there site. Very soon I think there will be no more ebay.

Pros

In my opinion, I think it has good benefits as well as a competitive wage. I like working for a company that provides a really interesting service, where there is lots to learn and a constant challenge. You can't get bored working there; there is always something new to learn. The one thing that makes me reluctant to leave after all the changes is the fact that eBay has the best group of coworkers I've ever had. I think the job naturally attracts a lot of like-minded people. This was the first job I really liked, although that's now changed. A drama-free (or at least drama-lite) workplace.

Cons

Recent changes have made us all feel uncertain about our jobs. I used to go to work daily feeling glad that I got to work for eBay and that I finally had a job I liked. Then they randomly closed valuable departments, shifted people around, let a bunch of people go and it doesn't feel safe anymore. Our holiday party was replaced with an "appreciation luncheon". Well, we are no longer feeling appreciated; we are feeling scared for our jobs - both our positions and our employment in general. It is no longer the place it was when I started working there. I no longer feel like I have any opportunity for advancement, and the recent restructurings have made it difficult for me and my coworkers to get the help we need.
