Pros

Good pay & benefits, location near campbell is nice, close to lots of restaurants in Pruneyard

Cons

Too many org changes means a lot of start, stop, restart, continue... doesn't make for good decision making, frustrating working in such an environment but not sure if it's the nature of the business. I think not... can't impact or implement change because have to keep starting over with a new manager or roadmap every 3-4 months.

Company in Decline and hated by eBay Corp

Pros

eBayK Germany, Marktplaats classifieds business is stopping the ship from sinking. Motors a strong category where still has good revenue

Cons

Company is slowly dying. It has only grown via adding more ads to its pages, relying on an increasingly difficult freemium business model that doesn’t translate well to app, small screen. Senior management/ the leadership team is in disarray, they don’t know what to do and are actively encouraging managers to fire ‘restructure’, targeting employees in local markets to reduce headcount. The Portland dev team will likely be the next to be axed. eBay openly mock and hate classifieds and accuse them of stealing their business in every all-hands - actual eBay where you pay a fee on goods sold. Facebook actively taking market share alongside app only players like Letgo.
