Pros

Good intentions, altruism, good benefits, decent pay. I like what I do.

Cons

Having worked in 4 departments and undergoing countless management changes, I can say with every confidence that at eBay middle management has no oversight and runs wild. Their official function is to be in lengthy offsite lunch meetings, not to support their employees. Most team leads are unaware of how to use internal systems and are unaware of business practices and policies. Coaches (Jr. Management) are rarely available, and are often equally unknowledgeable. Employees are blamed for staffing issues and lack of appropriate volume forecasting, and as a result queue times are unreasonably high at all times. Advancement opportunities are slim to none, and internal internships have all but been eliminated. Management is almost exclusively white, male, and Mormon, and any HR issues raised by employees about management are immediately closed without action or resolution, stating things like "[supervisor] says that never happened".

Pros

If you pay attention and study the systems and culture, you will do well at your job and have a good future at eBay. They invest in employees 100%. I always know someone has my back. It's a team culture and I've never felt singled out or picked on. They have nice break rooms stocked with complements drinks and snacks and have company events throughout the year. They definitively take care of their people and appreciate the hard work of the staff. Another positive trait of eBay is they communicate everything from the top down; there are no secrets and complete transparency. I love this place and hope to have a future here.

Cons

I do not have any cons at this time. This is the best employer I have worked for in my career.

Pros

Good work-life balance Decent pay No micro-management Great work environment and amenities

Cons

Frequent organization changes disrupt project focuses and schedules. Teams build similar mediocre technical products, instead of team up to build true cutting-edge solutions. It is a waste of resource, and frustrates top talents.
