Pros

Multicultural family environment. Even in teammates positions the job is not boring, repetitive being that there are several chance to be involved in projects or take part in different activity

Cons

Missing of communications between departments and between management and employee. The new management is looking to externalise part of the, at the moment, in-house activity. The main pro, the chance to be involved in different activity, is also a con since in the last year some employees have to work on duties that used to be managed by supervisors, specialists or managers. This is a pro in term of personal development but it is frustrating having more responsibility but the same position/salary

Pros

Friendly environment, nice and cosy building, good facilities on site (gym/canteen/bar), good training provided, chance to travel for work

Cons

Referral program and hiring process. Carrer progression, at least on Dublin site is mostly based on how you would relate to management then on your actual potentials and skills. Very poor management choices/ strategy for European markets. Too many internal reorganisations of teams/ department' structures (European markets) with no real positive or effective results. Very little focus on customer satisfaction in terms of giving the chance to customer service representatives to make customers happy (doing exceptions to rules, giving vouchers to spend on site). The way internal departments interact is really slow and inefficient. Compensation for expert agents is really low compared to other companies and demand on them is extremely high.

Pros

I liked working at eBay, mostly because the people were generally friendly and collaborative. There are some levels of the organization that are more self-serving, largely at the Sr. Director and above level. The work environment is very nice and has the usual Silicon Valley amenities. The work was challenging because of the dynamically changing business and that everything requires cross functional support and buy-in.

Cons

Sometimes I felt that I was not being heard. I think this is because the company values extroverted personalities who stated their case authoritatively, even if it was meritless, over more thoughtful employees who were more objective.
