Pros
Great purpose. Challenging problems to work on. The people you work with are great. They're connected and want to do the right thing. It's a great place to work from that perspective.
Cons
After the eBay/Paypal split, the ebay culture has changed. It used to be focused on bonding together to tackle the challenges and solve the problems. Leaders who listened and inspired. Now it seems to be shifting to a culture led by fear. When the going gets tough, find someone to blame. If you don't like what you're hearing, just reorg and listen to someone else. It's about what have you done for me lately versus trusting the reputation and integrity of the people you hired with the responsibilties you gave them. Planning is short term and risk taking seems to have been removed from the play book. This blame falls squarely on the shoulder the CEO, Devin Wenig. He says he wants to build the new ebay culture, but he has endorsed this negativity by the senior leaders he hired and the behaviors he has allowed to perpetuate.
