CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Work culture that encourages work life balance with fun team activities every week. * I love that eBay matches employee charity donation. * Everyone is willing to help across the team and department. * Free learning programs and free books. * Good health care, 401k matching, employee stock purchase plan. * Work load is reasonable. * Lots of redundancy in the work force so you can take a vacation without worrying about having to provide support. * Lots of different tech is being utilized across the company so you could alway find something that interests you.

Cons

If you would like to work at a fast pace start up like environment where things get done quickly (with sacrifices) then this isn't it.

Pros

1. Great place to start. We have three days or four days for newly joined to attend to get familiar with the work. 2. Great work life balance; 3. Nice team members and working atmosphere.

Cons

1. The virtue attending makes the recent college students harder to catch up with the normal work pace. 2. Not much diversity of people in my team.
