Pros

Great brand to work for. Value driven company which emphasizes WHY we do what we do. Keeps seller at the center of everything we do.

Cons

Depends on which team you work for. Overall eBay seems to encourage employee development but my team dosn't care.

Pros

If you get on a good team with a diverse group of people it is a good environment Positive about CEO, love the product itself and the tech stack was very well developed in my area of expertise. Management is mostly hands-off and don't micromanage. Standing desks and awesome benefits.

Cons

If you're part of a team that isn't diverse (and all are from the same country, for example), you're going to be miserable and feel like an outcast. The company is very self-segregated this way and it is an isolating and terrible feeling. Additionally, promotions are based less on your performance and more "turn based" than anything. Want a promotion? Get in line and wait months for it when you actually deserve it now.
