      Great place to work but not for everyone

      Pros

      eBay is a fast paced, large company that in a lot of ways still has its start up mentality. Some days there 's endless red tape to go through and other days we can stop on a dime and change directions. Everyone who works at eBay is dedicated, I have yet to meet anyone who we have to cover for. When faced with difficult tasks or projects, it is truly inspiring to watch everyone pitch in and power through whatever is in the way. In the past few years, management has encouraged its employees to have good balance between work and personal life. This really has made a big difference for everyone.

      Cons

      eBay will work you, there are no slackers at eBay. The work environment is intense, the moment you enter the office til the moment you leave, there is stuff to do. If can't mulitask, you won't do well.

      Pros

      You'll learn from the market leader in eCommerce, auctions, online payments, classifieds and VOIP communications

      Cons

      You'll be worked very hard - eBay is known for working their employees to submission. The salary/bonus and perks compensation is not par with industry in Silicon Valley either. Many people leave eBay for Yahoo, Google or comparable sized companies and instantly get a 20% bump in their salary, usually for a lateral job. Job titles are inconsistent here, often deflated. It's hard to get promoted. Politics is terrible too, and management isn't stongly versed in new trends on the internet. Technologists don't get much respect or say in things because management doesn't understand it. Truly old company management.

      great place to work, esp if you are in Paypal or Skype divisions

      Pros

      great company, has strong assets - ebay, paypal, skype, stubhub, stumpleupon - they encourage job rotation every 11 months. so there are people who moved from ebay to paypal to other parts. within each company, people have moved one division to another, one role to another - they have missed the list of top companies to work for in teh recent past, but last year they made it they have sabbatical concept, if you are 5 years, you can take off for 6 weeks paid vacation they introduced RSUs since last year, this is another great asset

      Cons

      loosing it competitiveness response to competition was not swift, becoming old fashioned monolithic they is some sense of insecurity all over, largely because the stock is not doing very well.
