eBay lost its charm for an engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Perks and benefits are really good. On-site gym, cafe, flexible work hours, matching 401k, RSUs, time-off benefits, sabbatical etc are quite good.

Cons

Seems like company is changing direction in a major way every 2-3 quarters. Stock is going down. Sellers are disgruntled. Executive team is constantly changing and every new person comes up with a new direction.

eBay Execs - Stop drinking your own Kool-Aid. eBay used to be cool. Now, it's cool to HATE eBay. Your Fault.

Pros

The best reason to work for eBay is to gain insight into what it is like to work for a company that is being managed by executives who are completely out of touch with their customers and overall trends on the web. IF YOU'RE A GLUTTON FOR LIVING IN A CASE STUDY IN THE MAKING...

Cons

Inane quarterly reviews, where original thinking and any level of risk taking is frowned upon. Whatever you do...don't propose that you jostle the 'Golden Goose'. Management plays up the culture of innovation from the Pierre legacy and then repeatedly underfunds anything having to do with true innovation. They They're driven by PR spin and fear without looking inward to the talented people who used to work there.
