John J. Donahoe does NOT know how to run a company!

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nowdays, great benefits is all that's left. I'd high-tail it out of there if it wasn't for the benefits.

Cons

eBay use to be a fun place to work. Donahoe has made eBay a miserable debacle and it's getting worse every day. He is the most stubborn hard-headed boss I have ever worked for! I never thought I would say this, but I miss Meg! Come back Meg!!!!!

One eBay insider's point of view

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Brand recognition; the auction site is a great "equalizer" for mom-and-pop sellers against bigger companies on the web; great people - smart, passionate, caring; great corporate value, which are: (1) Lead Completely (2) Keep It Human (3) Trust One Another (4) Practice Judgment

Cons

Long hours; low base pay - compensation based on model when the company stock was returning 20% or more per year; management a bunch of MBA gear heads who do not understand the business and rarely use the auction site

Too many talkers, not enough doers..

Software qa manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pays well compare to other companies.

Cons

Too many layers of managers/exec, not enough people doing the work. It used to be a place where people can be innovative, but given how the company has been running in past couple of years, it's a place with too many problems incurred from the past and no time to think ahead.
