Pros

- Incredibly challenging problems across data science and customer experience. - Fantastic lateral mobility throughout the organization - Recent signs of life in HR policy. Very inclusive company across race and sexual orientation. - Real opportunity to change people's lives for the better. Buyers love us and sellers need us.

Cons

- Lack of vision and strategy at the executive level down. - Boil the ocean approach to 'big bet' efforts every year - Short institutional memory (we make the same mistakes over and over again) - Not a tech driven company - poor decision making especially among the ranks of senior leadership. - In recent years, constant reorgs and attrition throughout the ranks. - Very political across product teams.

Don't do entry level

Pros

Beautiful building. Decent pay. No dress code. Great perks, benefits and mostly awesome people to work with. Not a ton of gossip.

Cons

The benefits made it hard to walk away but I ran. I was given an opportunity to work on the leadership team for about three months. Typical eBay way for promotions is to be freaking awesome and keep your stats up which is difficult at times. To remain on this particular leadership team, you are voted on or off by the teammates, not the TL and or coach. I will not trash the company but what I will tell you is that if you're applying, do not go for entry level CSR. You will be micromanaged,

Pros

First major player in eCommerce space. Still has scale and traffic and range of relevant problems for engaged employees to tackle and learn/grow

Cons

After PayPal split, eBay announced management estimates to grow <4% year over year. No clear strategic direction and constant re-org prompted workforce to leave. Current attrition is 25% annualized.
