EBay - a true star

Pros

I work for Paypal, a company owned by Ebay. Paypal has 70M+ active users and it is a challenge to keep the system up that works flawlessly. My main responsibility is to write software using C++ in Unix environment. With more than 6 years of experience in software development, I enjoy doing this and each day I learn something new. Sometimes new features of C++ which I put it in practice. Other times tackling live-issues and debugging code.

Cons

Stressful at times, supporting opeartions till late night, complex code base, maintenance work. Paypal is too process driven company and sometimes it is just frustrating

Pros

eBay is a great place to work. I feel that my management team trusts me and backs me up on the decisions I make. I have a well thought out career plan and my managers support me in accomplishing the goals I set. I am well compensated, excellent benefits, my department is very flexible with paid time off. The sabbatical program is excellent. Free bagels, free soda, coffee, tea, juice, hot chocolate and cider. eBay has great green initiatives and work life balance.

Cons

If I forget to take my badge off outside of work, lots of people approach me with eBay questions.
