It's not as good as they make it out to be.

Pros

They have great benefits and decent pay.

Cons

There is NO work/life balance, Metrics are EVERYTHING even when you are brand new to the floor. They will make you do jobs of other departments plus your own without explaining why they are making you do it, with little to no training with no pay increases or bonus ( normal training is usually 12 weeks). If you're looking to grow with the company it's all about who you know and no what you've done for the company, even if you're a top preformer. They give you a policy to enforce with customers but if you follow it and your customer gets mad you , you get counseling on what you should have done instead of what ebay trains you to do. So you are basically taking calls from a bunch of entitled people who will curse you out until you do what they want and you have to take it from the customers until you Manager (TL/Team Lead) decides to take over the call and only to just give the customer what they want. It's very much a thankless job .

Pros

Don't work here. The offices are unpleasantly bland and there are no competitive benefits to speak of.

Cons

This was a career misstep. This company doesn’t care about design and never will. The design team is constantly up against the ropes and playing catch-up while the "product" (very weird org structure when looked at closely) and business teams make decisions that will never put the customer first. I felt completely trapped there. It took forever to get out because of the reputation of eBay as a company. This is where a designer's career goes to die. It was demoralizing to watch every single good idea or good design that anyone came up with be pushed off to the side. “We don’t have the budget.” “It’s too unconventional.” “It’s too risky.” This company is too afraid to do anything meaningful and too afraid of having a perspective or an opinion to survive.
