Pros

It is remote….that’s it and that is all!

Cons

Sounds good initially, but once you are in you will quickly realize you have been deceived. They are looking for experience CSR’s but the training doesn’t reflect that…therefore you are spending weeks getting training that is not needed and you never learn the product until you are actually on the phone with members.. Don’t agree to the swing shift if you are being hired into the Buy department…They will stick you into training asap and you will never get the shift pay difference….so the pay they promise you for that varies shifts WILL NOT HAPPEN. In training don’t be analytical in training they will mark you as a troublemaker

Was great, some of the management lets everything down

Pros

Great people, wonderful atmosphere and fantastic benefits in London

Cons

Poor management, sometimes condescending, who believe they know better than engineers "on the floor". This "features over quality, do what I say" attitude that seems to have pervaded into what was once a dynamic, agile eBay sub culture in London. Unfortunately this attitude will not improve anything, legacy code needs time and care. Despite the company touting we should "deliver with impact", if you step out of line with delivery timelines or feature stack, you will be penalised for doing so.

Pros

Good work life balance. Nothing else really.

Cons

Now it is all about politics and what makes top dogs look good. Play along and you'll be supported. As long as you enjoy other people dictating to you what to do and yet holding you responsible for the outcome, you'd have a black of a time here. Company makes grand claims about their values. All of that is only on paper.
