Pros

Pay is very good and each year you get an increase depending on how well you have done the previous year as well as if you went beyond your role and did things like creating reports on how something is or isn't working etc. Benefits are great, VHI, EAP etc.

Cons

You're expected to work on other lines if they are busy so everyone is cross trained but it's the bare basics which isn't helpful when you are asked difficult questions. They pretend to care about your mental or physical health and advise you not to come in if unwell but when you go back, they have to do a return to work interview and the questions asked make you feel like you've caused more work for everyone for being our sick. "How do you think your absence affects the team and department overall" "what will you do in the future to make sure this doesn't happen again" Hard to progress in certain roles and interview process is weird, they use a STAR method

Pros

Challenging work, great company culture. There is something genuinely motivating about building for a brand that everyone knows and uses: the scale and real-world stakes make the work feel meaningful. The AI work specifically is at the frontier of applied AI: production systems, hard problems in agentic workflows and evaluation, and real customer impact. Good work-life balance. Leadership is more engaged and technically credible than I expected from a company this size — when I built a prototype, senior stakeholders engaged substantively and supported continued investment quickly. Competitive compensation, sharp colleagues, and a well-sized Austin office with a focused, collaborative feel.

Cons

Like any tech company, there is some legacy code to deal with which can cause friction. That said, eBay has made meaningful progress on modernizing the tech stack and has genuinely embraced the latest tools: AI development here uses current frameworks and infrastructure, not decade-old patterns. Large company coordination processes (security reviews, cross-team alignment) can slow things that could move faster, and vendor partnerships add some communication overhead. But the reach of what you build makes it worth the extra overhead.
