Pros

Good people to work with, interesting problems to solve, delivering a meaningful product to a select group of star sellers as well as many buyers around the world

Cons

A dwindling tolerance at the senior leadership level for challenging authority and an increasing appetite for top down decision making, tons of fraud and trust/safety concerns due to all of the scammer sellers, dissonance between values and actions from leadership, years of poor business decisions by the executive team resulting in a lack of core growth and layoffs (both hidden and public)

Pros

cool culture flexible work arrangements, decent pay, cool work.

Cons

outsourcing everything they can, selling all they can for parts, its a sinking ship of a company. keep in mind that they spend more on labor in Mexico city than in USA! What a sham! should be taken off US Stock exchange for that! Loosing users at a steady rate year of year. I'd avoid. no growth opportunity. Not brand vision.
