      Pros

      Amazing business model. A vibrant community. A thriving GLOBAL ecommerce platform that has helped millions of people across the world find what they want and build their lives around it. Truly unique. Plenty of challenges for building the next generation of ecommerce solutions for customers with comprehensive online shopping, payment and communication platforms.

      Cons

      Absolute lack of leadership and understanding of eBay's core strengths in the executive staff team. Both eBay and PayPal have succeeded given the simple and unique business models. The next couple of years will be the litmus test for eBay as it will witness a fight between the community that wants eBay to succeed and the internal strategies that are destined for failure

      Pros

      Your co-workers are some of the best and most motivated in the industry. If you're a high performer and have been frustrated with people not pulling their weight in the past, this place is like home. Plus eBay's mission is very inspiring! I come to work each day knowing that what I do contributes to the livelihood of so many people that might not otherwise have incomes. From the furniture-maker in a small village in India, to the retiree supplementing his Social Security, we've helped them find a market for their goods and gain financial independance.

      Cons

      Doing an exceptional job is the norm around here, so it's hard to stand out or get special recognition. And obviously, we're trying to make some fundamental improvements to the marketplace right now (2007/2008), and it's causing sellers a lot of pain. We all wish it could happen without that. The press has been pretty one-sided about what is going on,

      eBay has many defining attributes

      Pros

      eBay's products offer value to consumers around the world. In these challenging financial times, you can get great deals on eBay and its other retail websites, pay easily with PayPal and speak for FREE with Skype to anyone in the world. They have amazing products that improve people's lives. This makes me feel proud to work there.

      Cons

      There is little attention paid to career development or adventuring. Sometimes people are afraid to say what they really think, despite management attempts to make it a more direct and open culture. Some more positives include working with a lot of nice people who see all of eBay's opportunities.
