      Pros

      Work culture, not too much load and work life balance is good. Not strict on the 9 to 6 work schedule, flexible work schedule. Your work directly helps people all over the world.

      Cons

      Too many organization changes too often, management lacks focus and not bold to venture into new business.

      Lacks vision for the future

      Pros

      Engineers at eBay are very, very friendly and collaborative. I suspect a significant causal factor is that a large majority of engineers are immigrants from more community-oriented cultures, which generally promotes a more respectful and familial environment. I loved all my colleagues at eBay during the time I was there. The hardest part about leaving was saying goodbye to these fantastic folks.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, eBay's business outlook is extremely uncertain. After the recent PayPal spinoff, it seems like the new eBay executive leadership is generally more "corporate" and less able to drive true innovation. We've undergone a significant brain drain since 2014, with many of our best engineers leaving the company at a very noticeably higher rate. This has the potential to be a fatal downward spiral, with the talent loss (at both top and lower rungs) making it even harder to attract and retain other top talent. eBay still has a very inspiring purpose and mission, but I'm definitely worried about its ability to compete effectively going forward.

      Strong people culture

      Pros

      Fascinating business model, resulting in challenging work. Strong people culture, where colleagues treat each other with respect. The business changes all the time, so people are able to move into new roles, growing skills.

      Cons

      The company is not always able to compete with compensation and perks. South Jose location makes it difficult to compete for those who want to work in Palo Alto/San Francisco.
