Pros

eBay gives you good experience working on a high-traffic, high-visibility web site. It's a company that's great to have on the resume. You will learn a lot about development and business in a fast-paced eCommerce company. Also, eBay ownes a lot of companies so the opportunity for internal transfer to keep things new and interesting is good.

Cons

eBay is a big company that has not quite outgrown its fast paced startup roots. It is still very hard driving. Depending on where you are in the company, you may be worked pretty hard. Although it is not nearly as bad as it used to be. I set my limits now and don't have bad working hours. eBay is also going through some tough times right now trying to get their growth back, and that affects the employees with constantly switching priorities and high-pressure projects. As far as technology, you'll work on some cool stuff but if you always want to be on the cutting edge working with the latest frameworks this is not the best place to be.

Pros

The constant changes will always keep you on your toe; you cannot be bored. Technically, it is very challenging place for engineer (especially college grads) to keep up with the fast pace and learning curve. This is not a place for slacker for sure :) There is lots of lateral career movement you can take if you are tired of being in a certain position. I have seen software engineer becomes project manager or product manager. This is very much encouraged by management.

Cons

It can be stressful at time when you have deal with production site issues while working with your current projects. Everything can be very compressed.
