      eBay attracts a lot of great people, then the company culture beats them down and they leave within a couple of years.

      Pros

      It's a good name to have on your resume, and you will be working for a company that provides a living to millions of people. Bonus structure is good for a tech company.

      Cons

      Upper management is inept and tends to "swoop" in and make arbitrary changes to projects without supporting data. Politics is nasty, especially on the business side of things. There is significant favoritism given towards skinny blonde chicks by some senior managers. It takes a lot of work to get products out. John Donahoe is, I expect, going to run the company into the ground; he doesn't understand the eBay ecosystem, and driving Rajiv Dutta out of the company was a truly crazy thing for him to do.

      Pros

      Great projects to work on, with tons of users and lots of strategy behind what is built. ROI drives everything. You also get to work with great people who really know what they're doing. Usually, people are nice and helpful. As with most places, there is the occasional jerk or sycophant but overall, the people are great. Benefits are also on par with most large companies in teh bay area. maybe a little low, but not much. I'd prefer working at eBay over Google for sure.

      Cons

      Too much work, too much expected of employees, not enough recognition given for the right things - probably the same at most large companies

      Pros

      The brand is well recognized. The company is full of intelligent people to learn from. A good place to learn about how internet business works.

      Cons

      The middle management is very incompetent and totally screwed up. They are busy in too many useless meetings and keep dishing out BS to employees.Too much politics. Compensation here is lower than average. Promotions are given based more on politics than actual job performance. Bloated infrastructure and organization. Change is slow and by the time it happens is often outdated. Very few opportunities for career advancement.
