Pros

I would not recommend or suggest to anyone to work at ebay today. Years ago I would have, but certainly not today. A group of people scattered around the United States ( early ebay employees referred to as "Remotes" ) made ebay a very strong respectable marketplace. The Remotes worked VERY HARD and put in many LONG HOURS. The Remote employee was proud and happy back in the early days before Meg Whitman. The Remotes were NEVER properly recognized for the hard work and dedication to this company. Ask someone today who or what is/was a remote ebay employee and what did they do, and believe you me, not one single person can properly address that question. WHY? Because they simply do not know....they were not there! Oh the storys we all could tell, but it has been suggested we all keep quiet.

Cons

ebay used to be the most wonderful place in the world. I was very PROUD to work for ebay. When Meg Whitman "walked" into her position and the new hires began their take over, everything the early employees ( remotes) worked so hard for was quickly dissolved and pushed down the drain. I began to see that ebay was on its way of being a monster, and then of course the evil greedy monster it is today.

Pros

This used ot be a great place to work. The only good thing about this company are the people who are not in managment who are left wondering why so many unecessary and detrimental changes have been made in recent months. I like the regular folk that work in the regular jobs who areleft scratching their heads every day as to why this company is being driven into the ground by Donanhoe.

Cons

If it was not for this terrible economy I would be out of this place where people are treated like cattle. Management is a bunch of buffoons who like to make crazy rules to justify their jobs. Ebay will probably go out of business due to poor management left to make despotic rules unchecked. Did I mention that I hate this place I work at? I HATE IT HERE!

Pros

If you're willing to kowtow to management, you can get great career advancement opportunities. Pay has become reasonably good as the loss of droves of good employees has forced them to throw money at good people. And the work matters - people still make a living on eBay and it's rewarding to be a part of that.

Cons

Senior management is very out of touch with the market - both for customers and employees. They now resort to fear tactics to retain employees who get interesting jobs - you don't see the great companies like GE or P&G rage on their stars' next job opportunities, and that's why those companies' alums proudly carry those banners for life. It is now a company that is trying not to lose, but they've given up winning long ago.
