Was great, some of the management lets everything down

Pros

Great people, wonderful atmosphere and fantastic benefits in London

Cons

Poor management, sometimes condescending, who believe they know better than engineers "on the floor". This "features over quality, do what I say" attitude that seems to have pervaded into what was once a dynamic, agile eBay sub culture in London. Unfortunately this attitude will not improve anything, legacy code needs time and care. Despite the company touting we should "deliver with impact", if you step out of line with delivery timelines or feature stack, you will be penalised for doing so.

Pros

Good work life balance. Nothing else really.

Cons

Now it is all about politics and what makes top dogs look good. Play along and you'll be supported. As long as you enjoy other people dictating to you what to do and yet holding you responsible for the outcome, you'd have a black of a time here. Company makes grand claims about their values. All of that is only on paper.
