eBay : trim the company to focus on innovation, ship maintenance overseas

Senior staff software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

eBay handles a lot of traffic and has a very innovative architecture. It also scales parallel software development. It's a good place to learn how to design a site for high traffic and high productivity in terms of a lot of feature development.

Cons

There is very little place for innovation. Management is averse to rocking the boat, and as a result, the business is stagnating.

John donahoe needs to resign. Listen to the little guys!

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely flexible hours and fun atmosphere. Everyone here is joyous and easy to get along with. The benefits are amazing. Even with small perks, like free soda, or bagels on certain days.

Cons

Nothing as far as the job itself. The upper management has a hard time with actually listening to what the little guys have to say. I don't know why eBay has forsaken the ways of an auction site to move on to a retail site. It seems John Donahoe has turned this plane towards a downward spiral.
