      Pros

      scale if great, so good experience. very good place to start a new job

      Cons

      Way to much corporate politics. Doesn't run like a typical bay area engineering company.

      Pros

      Excellent company, values, culture. Training is excellent, compensation and benefits are very comparable. Lots of movement in the company means many employment opportunities and room for growth.

      Cons

      Management are a bunch of vaguely-psychotic children who seem to view themselves as overlords with us, their employees, playing the role of serfs. No regulation for management. HR is a joke. Management is almost never hired internally (they almost ALWAYS hire externally for management), so if your dream is to be middle management, go elsewhere.

      eBay review from a PD

      Pros

      Great team. eBay hires solid people at the individual contributor level. All my co-workers are hard working, intelligent, sharp developers. There's no lack for talent. eBay also has above average compensation and awesome work-life balance. It's a healthy place to work.

      Cons

      The tech stack. Ebay's technology is years behind it's major competitor - Amazon. It's getting more current, but that takes time. There has been a solid push at the company for the last year or so to revamp old processes, and we're seeing a lot of that work paying off. Middle management seems to lack direction at times. Upper management has a pretty clear vision for company growth, but middle management often changes the approach to achieve their goals.

      Our global talent engagement partners work hard to find top talent and bring them into our workforce - and we are all so fortunate to be surrounded by smart, talented co-workers. We are able to do this with the competitive compensation we offer and positive work-life balance atmosphere. We are glad to know you see our push to improve our current technology, and you are right, it does take time. We will inform upper management of your feedback to continue to invest in technology. We want our engineers to thrive within eBay and to constantly innovate. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights.
