      Some things are great - others not so

      Pros

      Large organisation with lots of opportunities to move geographies and change roles. Most people are super smart and generally nice to work with. Generally well paid. Work life balance is challenging but manageable.

      Cons

      Management is top heavy (too many chiefs and not enough highly empowered indians). Lots of MBA strategy people with no clue about product development. Product & technology groups are disempowered. Still very waterfall in terms of planning. Minimal agility at the ground level.

      Pros

      eBay has a really fun culture and value employee input. By the time I left, over 80% of the company had been there 5 years or more. That tells you alot about how nice it is to work there. One of the killer benefits is every 5 years they give you 1 month paid sabbatical.

      Cons

      Most people don't leave a company, they leave a Manager, this was the case with me. Would love to go back to a different team. Really miss the culture of the company as a whole.

      Exceptional in its early years, but the ebay/paypal employer brand is damaged

      Pros

      Mostly comparable to other technology companies with regards to salary and benefits. There are some exceptional people who work there, and if you're fortunate enough to land on their team, within their organization or business unit, your chances of having a good experience in the current environment are higher. Good advice for any job seeker, make sure you know exactly what you're getting into before signing on.

      Cons

      Not competitive or innovative with regards to the WOW extras found at companies like Google, Facebook. With definite exceptions, the company values are mostly demonstrated by new and mid level employees. Senior leaders appear to work by a different set of values and this has eroded eBay's brand as an employer of choice over the last 5 years. It feels like an "old boys" network mentality that has become increasingly politicized. The company's women's initiative in particular is disappointing with respect to the embellishment of progress and the credit senior leaders have taken for the advances made by over the years by volunteer grassroots individuals and employee groups.
