Pros

I can think of no better opportunity to make a global difference in real people's lives for me.

Cons

A lot of top down management in our current culture, coupled with an "analysis to paralysis" tendency. Many managers seem to chase the latest "trend" or "catch phrase" in order to grow their empire rather than actually focusing on the right thing at the right time. This should not be a popularity contest, and we should reward employees that are able to (with proven accuracy) and willing to say the emperor is not wearing clothes.

Pros

eBay is a recognizable employer (I've had plenty of jobs at companies that people would stare at blankly when I named them). Most of the people are intelligent. You get free bagel days and free beverages (San Jose campus only)

Cons

eBay has become too big and too corporate. There are too many incompetent people in senior management who don't know what eBay is all about (hint, it's not always about PowerPoint decks and ROI), lip service to the corporate values and mission statement. What happened to lead completely and practice judgment? Leadership seems to be blowing with the wind rather than setting course for the company to follow.

Pros

Close to home and some of the co-workers are great. Also, the benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Management does not know what they are doing
