Pros

Personal Perspective: - Flexible work hours (ability to work from home in many groups), - They sincerely care about employee welfare (we have groups dedicated to work/life balance and other welfare related areas), - Emphasis on mentoring and training (my team has weekly meetings dedicated to furthering our knowledge), Work Perspective: - Challenging/stimulating projects to work on (every time I meet with a manager I get even more excited about where our platform is going), - Intelligent co-workers (I have learned much from my teammates), - Entrepreneurial spirit and innovative (we have innovation challenges, skunkworks projects always going on, and promote a collaborative environment where people are not afraid to voice their opinions), - We are a customer focused company (in fact all of the new projects I am hiring for are to better the customers experience), - The managers I support including my immediate management is encouraging and provide the right amount of assistance without becoming a micro manager. - Ability to impact the company - working here you have many opportunities to impact the company as we are still very startup like on the inside - not many processes or procedures to impede you. Our company is always encouraging us to get out in the community and volunteer.

Cons

As a recruiter/sourcer our internal systems can be better - right now they are pretty clunky. However we do have a team developing a new ATS for us to use. As a remote employee it would be nice to visit the office at least twice a year. In 2 years I have been able to visit the main campus twice. In the sourcer chair the only career growth I have is to move into a manager or recruiter role (neither of which I want). With that being said there is not much career growth in my role. I know my management is working on improving this and feel confident it will improve.

Pros

I was an intern last summer, and I absolutely loved my experience; however, coming in as a full time employee has far exceeded my expectations. HR organized a two week training program with all new hires from around the country. We learned so much and it was a blast (happy hours and dinners every night). Working in marketplaces, I was able to get a more well-rounded view of the entire company. I'm so excited to hit the desk tomorrow and kick off my career at eBay.

Cons

The company has yet to manage its reputation/brand image. The public doesn't quite understand what eBay Inc has to offer holistically as a commerce company -- there is still a stigma that consumers can only buy junk on eBay (but really, over 70% is new and buy it now).
