Pros

Good benefits, free drinks, casual dress code, recognizable name on your resume.

Cons

Very difficult to get promoted at the Draper office. Odd office politics. Promotions and recognition given on criteria that seemed to have nothing to do with tenure, work competence, or education. Focus on strict productivity requirements, rather than quality or innovation in work. Uneven competence in management.

Pros

I've been with eBay for quite some time now and can honestly tell that eBay has been through real technology turnaround in the last 3-4 years, it started by hiring new management team and it’s now affecting the individual contributor level. I grew up in this company’s product management org, and while only few years ago product management was about pitching for budget through ppt presentations and celebrating project approvals, now days it’s about collaborating with the engineering team, delivering a product, measuring success and celebrating our business impact. eBay marketplaces, and search in particular, is one of those places where you actually work on the core product and affect millions of users with every product change, we truly move the business needle and drive the company growth (check our stock price in the past 2 years!), and eventually, the true leaders of the organization, whether they are new employees or folks who’ve been around (like me) get recognized & compensated accordingly. The company is really focused on hiring great new talents; I can truly say the team becomes better every year.

Cons

Change is hard for many employees with the competition out there we sometime lose the leading talents. Like in any other big company, a lot of “low/average” performing employees are still around.

Pros

Great people - smart, talented, focused After some hard times, the company is again on a positive trajectory Company tries hard to make employees happy

Cons

There aren't enough resources to get done all that needs to get done - some projects pushed out two years or more The business model of the company is limiting There is a great deal of affection for the "old" eBay that it's going to be hard to change that mindset
