      Good people, but leadership has no vision

      Senior product manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to work with smart people who really do care about doing the right thing. If you find the right team, there are good career opportunities.

      Cons

      Top management has no long term focus or vision. The repeated changes in strategy mean that you never know if the project you're working on is going to be completed. One month your project is top priority and everyone is putting in long, firedrill hours. The next month the project is canceled. The month after that it's back on again.

      The real ebay is now DEAD and GONE

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I would not recommend or suggest to anyone to work at ebay today. Years ago I would have, but certainly not today. A group of people scattered around the United States ( early ebay employees referred to as "Remotes" ) made ebay a very strong respectable marketplace. The Remotes worked VERY HARD and put in many LONG HOURS. The Remote employee was proud and happy back in the early days before Meg Whitman. The Remotes were NEVER properly recognized for the hard work and dedication to this company. Ask someone today who or what is/was a remote ebay employee and what did they do, and believe you me, not one single person can properly address that question. WHY? Because they simply do not know....they were not there! Oh the storys we all could tell, but it has been suggested we all keep quiet.

      Cons

      ebay used to be the most wonderful place in the world. I was very PROUD to work for ebay. When Meg Whitman "walked" into her position and the new hires began their take over, everything the early employees ( remotes) worked so hard for was quickly dissolved and pushed down the drain. I began to see that ebay was on its way of being a monster, and then of course the evil greedy monster it is today.

      Cut the number of chiefs

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's an opportunity to work in a highly matrixed organization. It used to be about working for a company that had a purpose you could believe in... although it's a good bet that isn't the case any longer.

      Cons

      Too many chiefs, not enough indians: Too many MBAs hired to rank-and-file positions. The company's party line doesn't match with its bottom line: This is reflected in every business decision they make, and in the way they treat their people on the whole. Projects in the planning pipeline don't get useful feedback at the appropriate time, resulting in badly planned and mistimed projects being launched. In theory, the "trains" can be rolled back, but the reality is, once a project is past initial acceptance, the rest of the approval process is just rubberstamping.
