Would not recommend if you are looking to create a career here

Pros

Private health insurance, generous annual leave allowance and set rotation making it easier to manage shift work

Cons

Salary isn’t the best and the calls can be tedious. I can now understand why there is such a high staff turnover. Very busy place to work with barely any time between calls to take a breath. Calls for the most part felt like you were battling with customers over account issues and restrictions/suspensions rather than having productive conversations with customers and actually helping. I felt just like a number to them and didn’t feel valued. Wouldn’t recommend it here if you wish to progress in your career. It’s fine for a call centre job as that’s all it is.

Pros

Great work life balance because nobody works and everyone tries to get away with it just by boot licking

Cons

Career suicide, don’t waste your time here just for the money. Go somewhere else if you want to really become a good developer.

Pros

The culture at eBay is very encouraging, supportive and upbeat. eBay is a HUGE company but when you’re hired you feel like you’re joining a family and not just another huge corporation.

Cons

I haven’t found any yet!
