Pros

Career Advancement - Technological Knowledge. A full-bore ahead mentality can lead to a fantastic learning curve (but has its siginifant downside - see below). Once on this path, ones career opportunities begin to flourish as your knowledge of business and techology (in this forum) begins grow.

Cons

Long hours & lack of communication from the top down. A "full-bore ahead" or "dive in head first" philosphy to change, without (in my humble opinion) taking into consideration the "law of unintended consequences" first. Making changes that significantly impact the eBay selling community, and asking middle-level Customer Service management to deal with the fallout.

Still has potential, but need stronger leadership to turn things around

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to work with a lot of smart people, work on a online product with huge traffic. Although many employees have left, there are still a surprising number of employees on the front lines who are smart, competent, and really care about eBay customers.

Cons

Lot of good ideas, but there is a lack of operational excellence. I.e., Lack of a systematic, clear way of translating those good ideas into real changes. Also lot of work with questionable business impact.
