eBay Software Developer reviews

Long hours High stress Short time lines

1) No work life balance 2) Very poor management 3) Worse place for any honest and talented person to thrive - Use of proprietary technology is a pain to deal with. - People who do a lot of lip service get rewarded. - Unreasonable project timelines - Management believes in just getting their work done, it doesn't matter how badly one is breaking one or all of the software engineering principles. - Even a Sixth grader can do a Product managers job in most of the dev teams. Believe me as a developer you almost do everything - Management is looking to hire candidates who can where multiple hats but will pay you for wearing only one of them .... - Managers are not technically sound. They are not even qualified in terms of having a good related computer science and/or MBA degree. - Promotions are a joke. 4) I have seen amazing and very talented software professionals breaking down in terms of motivation. 5) It will be of no surprise if you happen to hear that one is verbally tortured and harassed by upper management and their cronies.
