Pros

-Working with many awesome folks -Ability to learn -Great CEO -Cheap mass produced made in china products is great for business

Cons

-What product/feature to developed is groomed from what financial goal your group needs to hit instead of what is the best possible experience you can do for your customers -The performance review process is based on popularity contest, as it is mandatory 10% of the staff in your team receives the lowest grade, thus the rating process is based on who is perceived as high performers vs. quantifiable achievements. What ends up happening is those true top performers become victims to those that have the ability to manage up very well. So even if you are in a team where your boss has your back, it doesn't help if you don't stand out and have recognition beyond your team. -Pay is below industry average -No free food -Parking lot full when coming back from lunch

Pros

Competitive salary/ mac book. Stock is doing fine.

Cons

eBay search is run in a very disorganized fashion. They are developing new search engine which only few folks are allowed to touch. Rest of the engineers are not utilized properly and no one cares for the end product. Most of engineers have left the group and many are in process to leave the group. Managers lack technical expertise and are busy in playing politics and using one against other. This was not the case earlier. I will seriously advice you not to join the search group as this will be total waste of time.

Pros

Great to work from home. Good pay. OK benefits. Provided computer setup. ESPP. Stock options. Work schedules could be adjusted.

Cons

John Donahoe laid off the remote team at the first opportunity that came along. eBay then went on to post the highest profits to date. We lost all of our stock options which were underwater, but eBay traded out the rest of the employees stock options for new options with value.
