HR protects management - beware

Anonymous

Business Outlook

Pros

Ebay has always had a good mission, the management people and lack of new thinking in infrastructure teams under the current CTO is disappointing.

Cons

Long grueling work hours in data infrastructure team. Confusion abounds on Data Infrastructure, folks who suck up are promoted and retained, those who do not are managed out. HR protects management, if you speak up it all goes back to management and then they begin to make a strategy to exit you. Favoritism abounds. Beware.

Very bad and quite incompetent management. Bullying, favoritism, nepotism. Top talent has already left the company and the ship is sinking.
