eBay reviews

Increasingly bureaucratic, many approvers and stakeholders to get anything done Very slow moving for an ecommerce company, emphasis on having meetings and producing slides Constant reorganisations and changes in direction harm efficiency and morale Poor communications from senior management Poor career development and people management Lots of people with good consulting and business school experience but lacking tangible skills Tends to follow the competitors rather than lead the way

In 14 years of IT I have never come across more egotistical management. Managers have no clue what they are talking about and you being a slave have no authority to question them. Top it off with really bad office politics. As one manager from Google once told me they have very little respect for developers with Ebay on their resume. You start each day thinking it could not get any worse and then the "smart" manager just raises the stupidity bar to a whole new level. I can barely control my laughter thinking about what all I have seen and heard. Need proof? Most of the good reviews on Glassdoor are all from managers (this is a management hell hole if you know what I am saying ;) ). This is the first time in my life that I have really felt the urge to write a review. A very well deserved review.
