Pros

Great team. eBay hires solid people at the individual contributor level. All my co-workers are hard working, intelligent, sharp developers. There's no lack for talent. eBay also has above average compensation and awesome work-life balance. It's a healthy place to work.

Cons

The tech stack. Ebay's technology is years behind it's major competitor - Amazon. It's getting more current, but that takes time. There has been a solid push at the company for the last year or so to revamp old processes, and we're seeing a lot of that work paying off. Middle management seems to lack direction at times. Upper management has a pretty clear vision for company growth, but middle management often changes the approach to achieve their goals.

Our global talent engagement partners work hard to find top talent and bring them into our workforce - and we are all so fortunate to be surrounded by smart, talented co-workers. We are able to do this with the competitive compensation we offer and positive work-life balance atmosphere. We are glad to know you see our push to improve our current technology, and you are right, it does take time. We will inform upper management of your feedback to continue to invest in technology. We want our engineers to thrive within eBay and to constantly innovate. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights.

Pros

great people, great environment, great benefits, great perks, competitive pay, great bonuses. I really enjoyed being there and all the people i met.

Cons

They are looking for people with only a certain personality to promote so everyone seems fake because they are trying to do what they have to in order to get ahead. They talk about being diverse, but its really not desirable.
