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.

Pros
Working with leading edge technologies. eBay is a leader in the industry and trying hard to keep up with the competition. There is a lot of youthful energy at eBay that, if channelled correctly, would help push the company ahead. The facilities are unique and always kept neat. Even though it does not always include everyone, campus life is varied. Internal training is helpful and employees are encouraged to take advantage of it. For those who like structure, the Product Development Life Cycle PDLC is perfect for them. Serve the process, and management is happy with the way things are going.
Cons
All work with criticism but no praise. There is a strong tendency to add work without really checking to evaluate the load already on a person. Deadlines are imposed, not collaboratively developed. Management does not encourage employees to innovate. In fact, innovation is beaten back. The entire atmosphere is process driven--serve the process, but the process does not serve the organization. Does not seem to be much opportunity for advancement. Few people get promoted. Become good at the job you do and you will stay in it for months, even years. Pay does not seem to be competitive with similary types of companies.
