      Decent place to work

      Pros

      Great projects to work on, with tons of users and lots of strategy behind what is built. ROI drives everything. You also get to work with great people who really know what they're doing. Usually, people are nice and helpful. As with most places, there is the occasional jerk or sycophant but overall, the people are great. Benefits are also on par with most large companies in teh bay area. maybe a little low, but not much. I'd prefer working at eBay over Google for sure.

      Cons

      Too much work, too much expected of employees, not enough recognition given for the right things - probably the same at most large companies

      Pros

      The brand is well recognized. The company is full of intelligent people to learn from. A good place to learn about how internet business works.

      Cons

      The middle management is very incompetent and totally screwed up. They are busy in too many useless meetings and keep dishing out BS to employees.Too much politics. Compensation here is lower than average. Promotions are given based more on politics than actual job performance. Bloated infrastructure and organization. Change is slow and by the time it happens is often outdated. Very few opportunities for career advancement.

      Pros

      great brand name, real impact on people's lives, removing inefficiencies from marketplaces - its nice to work for a company that is universally known (but sometimes passionately hated as well)

      Cons

      way too much bureaucracy - too much "its not on my list", and this year, a lot of fear around layoffs and constrained resources. product changes are slow. existing processes are inflexible. the company has carved work into so many little pieces that its hard to find any ownership. too many ex-consultants and ex-bankers in leadership - we need more operating expertise to run a company. much too focused on powerpoint decks instead of real bold action and experience.
