Poor experience overall.

Pros

Nice Office. On site gym. On site catering. Takes part in some great local charities. Senior management can sometimes be good.

Cons

Same work every single day. No variation whatsoever. Incredibly tedious, many of the tasks I conducted brought absolutely no value to the company. Drama, interdepartmental projects were slow to get off the ground as each team was adhered to their way of doing things, and every tiny change required a meeting. Work life balance, definitely expected to stay beyond prescribed hours.

Pros

Amazing people to work with, lots of innovation, scale of operations on both sides of the marketplace

Cons

Lack of consistence in strategy, too short-term focused, constantly in cognitive dissonance between being a consumer-to-consumer marketplace and a retailer.

Pros

I worked with some great people at ebay. Talented, smart and extremely forward looking building the now for the future. Liked some senior leaders I worked with but pity several left the company last and this year.

Cons

People here love to start initiatives but have no stamina nor discipline to see through. HR is non existent aside from endlessly throwing out new initiatives without training people to be ready for these e.g. The new performance management system. There is disparity in treatment of employees. VPs and above get treated as special class of people e.g. Class of travel on flights. They are invited to special regular town halls with the CEO which is fine if there is more open sharing from the VPs and senior leaders. But people don't share so we feel like we are kept from really important business information and updates.
