Pros

In my opinion, I think it has good benefits as well as a competitive wage. I like working for a company that provides a really interesting service, where there is lots to learn and a constant challenge. You can't get bored working there; there is always something new to learn. The one thing that makes me reluctant to leave after all the changes is the fact that eBay has the best group of coworkers I've ever had. I think the job naturally attracts a lot of like-minded people. This was the first job I really liked, although that's now changed. A drama-free (or at least drama-lite) workplace.

Cons

Recent changes have made us all feel uncertain about our jobs. I used to go to work daily feeling glad that I got to work for eBay and that I finally had a job I liked. Then they randomly closed valuable departments, shifted people around, let a bunch of people go and it doesn't feel safe anymore. Our holiday party was replaced with an "appreciation luncheon". Well, we are no longer feeling appreciated; we are feeling scared for our jobs - both our positions and our employment in general. It is no longer the place it was when I started working there. I no longer feel like I have any opportunity for advancement, and the recent restructurings have made it difficult for me and my coworkers to get the help we need.

Pros

Ebay still has some cache on your resume. If you have been there for a while then there have also been a lot of really smart people that you had a chance to work with that have now gone on to interesting companies. I am constantly hearing about new job opportunities and networking opportunities from former ebay colleagues. Ebay is also centrally located in Campbell where there are not that many other companies. It makes for a very easy commute from the mid-penninsula. Finally, there is always a lot going on at ebay, (although not all productive work). If you are someone who loves to be busy and loves the excitement of the unknown, ebay would be a great place for you!

Cons

Working at ebay is definitely a grind. The company has some really smart people but many of them are more concerned with their own career trajectory and being right, than doing right for the company. There is not a lot of accountability for decisions that are made and as a result, people tend to make rash and dumb decisions on a continual basis. Additionally, the management team has been thinned of the people who push back and have an opinion so you tend to get a lot of people who are just collecting their paychecks rather than making a difference or adding value.
