      Pros

      When you can't find a position anywhere else. Ebay was much better under Meg...not perfect just better.

      Cons

      Management couldn't care less about ideas for improvement. Only senior management is listened to but rarely has real input since Donahoe came on board. His ego is tremendous and he truly believes that his disruptive innovation will work. Unfortunately he refuses to admit it hasn't worked.

      tremendous opportunities, if only we would get our heads on straight and choose a visionary plan and leadership

      Pros

      For better or worse, eBay is a large company. Even if you start at eBay doing one job, there's tremendous opportunity to more around the company if you are apt and willing. eBay also attacks problems of tremendous scale, unmatched anywhere on the web. How we handle them is sometimes questionable, but there's no doubt that we are the biggest game in town.

      Cons

      Management is schizophrenic and quarter-driven. Even when we were promised that we were NOT going to be quarter driven, we still see a highly detrimental focus on making the projection for Wall St. Internally, everything not aligned with the current soup du 'jour is likely to be canceled, paused, downsized or outright ignored. Also there are far too many doers and not enough thinkers hired here. This company is run by people who "have ideas", whether they are well-planned or not.

      Ebay - the stuff Dilbert cartoons are made of.

      Pros

      It looks good on your resume and because they are idiots they'll just keep throwing more money at you to get you to stay (if you even want to stay).

      Cons

      You won't learn a thing because management is completely incompetant and will end up blaming you for their own stupidity. Dilbert cartoons won't seem funny any longer because you'll be living them. The technology sucks big time and systems don't talk to each other more frequently than they do.
