EBAY is once again getting top heavy.

Pros

The pros for this job is the insurance. They offer great insurance. The company offers great training for each position.

Cons

The compensation is off with other jobs in the same area. Maybe there is where you have to figure out how much good insurance with worth to you. Every few years EBAY management likes to create management positions and they get very top heavy and then they come in with a reduction of force. Just once business gets profitable they over fill and then everything is in cycles and then people are once again out of work.

Pros

- The opportunity for e-commerce scale is unmatched except at Amazon - High performers are given generous compensation packages - Work life balance is a key value of leadership

Cons

- There are truly incompetent people still around, though that appears to be changing - Matrix org structure has killed any hope of doing anything innovative unless you can carve out a team outside of that structure - If you don't play the political game, you'll be passed over for promotions, etc.
