the sad truth...many good things about ebay, but perhaps more bad in terms of culture...just be aware
Pros
Generally smart, high quality folks. User centric, business focused, very analytical, strategic, and results oriented. Interesting business, lots of opportunity to move around to different business units and internationally. Challenging work abounds. parity salary and bonus with other large silicon valley consumer internet companies. benefits ok
Cons
Extremely political organization. With many smart people...this sometimes happens, there are some who forget it's not just about their own achievement and success to the detriment of everything and anyone else. Strangely enough, saw very arbitrary behavior and decisions being made in this extremely "smart" organization. Rather counter-intuitive, but likely explained by the political nature of the company. Just be very aware of the environment if you join. Develop allies and network quickly in your first year. Your performance will not matter if you haven't done this well.
