Pros
Some things I like about being a product manager at eBay: - Culture: I generally like the culture; Collaborative, mean people are discouraged, I believe the leadership genuinely wants to help buyers and sellers; Lots of people have been here for many years; Global brand - Comp: Base salary is pretty good; RSUs are low compared to other companies (although stock price doubled); 5 year sabbatical is cool - Working / locations has gotten very flexible during the pandemic...nice - Trend towards managed verticals (sneakers, collectibles, motors, handbags, etc) is good - People who work for the local biz unit (i.e. UK, North America) report high job satisfaction and seem to have a good quality of life - Short term biz outlook: Good, lots of 'found money' from advertising and managed payments
Cons
Some things I don't like: - Shipping code: OMG things move so slowly; Lots of old legacy code - Operations: This company needs a COO to fix things; API dev sandbox doesn't work; Quarterly planning bureaucracy is ridiculous; Small changes require way too much discussion - Very poor diversity: Staff isn't representative of our buyers and sellers; There seems to be a huge bias in product and eng towards hiring people from India (usually by managers who are from India) - Many of the eng and product team don't use eBay and therefore don't understand customer needs - People who work in product and eng report lower job satisfaction (not terrible, but lower than local biz unit) indicative of work load + pain in shipping code - Product mgr turnover was high in 2021; Lots of people I know left - Long term biz outlook: We need more buyers...losing the youth market
