Good to Great

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

eBay Classifieds Group has over 30 websites serving customers around the world. The bigger sites have local teams, each run day-to-day as an independent start-up. They benefit from local autonomy with the backing of a multi-national. The offices I worked at each have their own unique culture ranging from good to great. I worked with some very talented colleagues who were also fun to work with.

Cons

The main challenges were the growing pains found at many successful start-ups.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits. Good teammates. I had really good time with our system administrating team. My manager and I had 1:1 talking each week to make sure my studying and working are good.

Cons

No much passion. People are kind of satisfied what they are doing and do not really want to learn new technology at least in system administrating area.

Good company, but constant fear of layoff

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Enjoyable environment with lovely colleagues. Possibility to have a good worklife balance (but depending on local management).

Cons

Constant fear of new layoff: one day you're in, the next day you're out, no humanity when they communicate you've been fired. The company is an old elephant if compared to other ecommerce competitors, they're not innovating. Burocracy at maximum levels. No way to get promoted.
