      Pros

      great brand name, real impact on people's lives, removing inefficiencies from marketplaces - its nice to work for a company that is universally known (but sometimes passionately hated as well)

      Cons

      way too much bureaucracy - too much "its not on my list", and this year, a lot of fear around layoffs and constrained resources. product changes are slow. existing processes are inflexible. the company has carved work into so many little pieces that its hard to find any ownership. too many ex-consultants and ex-bankers in leadership - we need more operating expertise to run a company. much too focused on powerpoint decks instead of real bold action and experience.

      Great place to work with opportunities to grow

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      With a great work atmosphere, there are various opportunities provided for individuals to shine and grow within their teams. Employee training is encouraged, and management makes every attempt to provide projects based on the type of work employees want to do. With the number of changes happening this year, senior management has been very communicative and responsive, which is great to see.

      Cons

      A better work-life balance atmosphere would be beneficial. Due to the large nature of the organization, decision making takes a long time as you have to go through a lot of red tape. Company seems to be more reactive than proactive, always trying to catch up with competition as opposed to setting trends.

      Too much talent to be sucking so much wind....

      Pros

      You are part of a global brand, people recognize and in most cases, appreciate. There are numerous talented people throughout the organization, most easy to relate to and to get along with.

      Cons

      Fosters a competitive culture, multiple teams working towards the same initiative and building similar products. Management seems unable to make the difficult decisions necessary to get product teams aligned on a corrective path. Management is unable to hold to a single track, make investments in a long term strategy that will allow us to outperform our competition and regain market share. Direction changes every 6 months, ideas are recycled ever three, and the majority of product managers and business leaders make decisions based on how they use the website or their gut rather than what our customers actually want.
