Great place to work with opportunities to grow

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

With a great work atmosphere, there are various opportunities provided for individuals to shine and grow within their teams. Employee training is encouraged, and management makes every attempt to provide projects based on the type of work employees want to do. With the number of changes happening this year, senior management has been very communicative and responsive, which is great to see.

Cons

A better work-life balance atmosphere would be beneficial. Due to the large nature of the organization, decision making takes a long time as you have to go through a lot of red tape. Company seems to be more reactive than proactive, always trying to catch up with competition as opposed to setting trends.

Too much talent to be sucking so much wind....

Senior manager, product development

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You are part of a global brand, people recognize and in most cases, appreciate. There are numerous talented people throughout the organization, most easy to relate to and to get along with.

Cons

Fosters a competitive culture, multiple teams working towards the same initiative and building similar products. Management seems unable to make the difficult decisions necessary to get product teams aligned on a corrective path. Management is unable to hold to a single track, make investments in a long term strategy that will allow us to outperform our competition and regain market share. Direction changes every 6 months, ideas are recycled ever three, and the majority of product managers and business leaders make decisions based on how they use the website or their gut rather than what our customers actually want.

eBay is Family Friendly!

Senior project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome coworkers, great work-to-life balance - depending on your job, eBay makes an extra effort to show employees they are valued, diverse workforce, people here are passionate about what they do and they really care about the product and how it impacts people's lives. Good bonus structure, management tries to keep employees abreast of how the company is doing on a regular basis. It's a great place to work if you are raising a family. They have mother rooms for breastfeeding moms and many managers support flexible hours and telecommuting.

Cons

Typical politics that are evident and ever present at any company you work for anywhere.
