      Great coworkers, too many middle managers, too many fiefdoms, lack of direction - stop trying to be Amazon

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a lot of really smart and highly motivated people doing the actual work. Pay is pretty darn good, and management is pretty flexible about taking time off or working from home. It's also pretty cool working at a company that is known all over the world.

      Cons

      - Too many meetings - Far, far too much time spent generating reports for middle management - Annual review process is more like a high school popularity contest and is mapped to a bell curve (just like high school), so actual performance counts for much less than it should - Frequency of updates to the site means quality comes second, and there is never, ever, ever a "slow period" where you can catch up on anything - Too many middle managers - Too many people adding new processes and tools without following through to make them integrated with the rest of the systems

      Micro management culture

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay, but not worth it.

      Cons

      After having worked at other big silicon valley companies, I was shocked at the micro management culture at eBay.
