      Pros

      eBay has smart, great people to work with Social bent in mission - providing livelihood to millions across world Can't beat a company so flush with cash during a downturn (i.e. $3B on balance sheet, generate $2.5B per year) Finally making some real changes to strengthen its long term position (late 2008)

      Cons

      Lack of clear corporate vision and strategic direction Advancement opportunities are getting too hard to come by Senior mgmt often seems to focused on short term results

      Pros

      The people, my coworkers. They make coming into work worth it, even if we all hate being there.

      Cons

      The attitudes of the upper management. We're not a charity, but we're killing our business that was built on the backs of members we don't want anymore.

      Sr. Management needs to get in touch with their customers.

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, flexible work schedule are some of the reasons to work for this company. The overall environment of the other employees and staff is great as well. In many ways everyone is at the same level, though it is not the level that most of them want to be at. There are many strong and enthusiastic leaders but they are stifled by an oppressive leadership style form the top. The cubicles are filled with many trinkets that reflect the individual styles and interests of the many workers. There is a great deal if individuality tolerated within the organization.

      Cons

      Leaders micromanage and are clueless. They have no experience with the product and services of their company. Everything is judged by one comity and then then next to get anything done. Every innovative idea is so watered down in the many steps and groups it has to appease that by the time it is nearly finished it is unrecognizable and lacking any real innovation is started with. Top leadership ignores the input from staff members on the front lines wit the customers. It is quite degrading to be told over and over again by top management that our largest and most successful customers don't have any idea what the eBay marketplace needs.
