Pros

eBay's products offer value to consumers around the world. In these challenging financial times, you can get great deals on eBay and its other retail websites, pay easily with PayPal and speak for FREE with Skype to anyone in the world. They have amazing products that improve people's lives. This makes me feel proud to work there.

Cons

There is little attention paid to career development or adventuring. Sometimes people are afraid to say what they really think, despite management attempts to make it a more direct and open culture. Some more positives include working with a lot of nice people who see all of eBay's opportunities.

Pros

Great mission in that eBay helps hundreds of thousands of small businesses develop and grow.

Cons

Company is going through a lot of turmoil. Although change is something standard in Silicon Valley, the amount of changes as well as changes in direction at eBay are massive right now. Makes it more difficult to get things accomplished.

Pros

I worked in a mid sized group at eBay and was very satisfied with my experiences there. I had a fabulous manager who respected me and provide ample opportunity to grow and gain experience and exposure to areas that were new to me. I felt that the compensation scales were fair - relative to my peers in Silicon Valley. I was proud of the company and of the worked that I did. Since my group was smaller and more specialized, I could see the immediate impact and affect of my work results. Overall - i was very happy with the company.

Cons

I don't think eBay is really a terribly 'fun' place to work - that's based on my experiences at other companies and what i've read and heard about other internet companies.
