Pros

eBay Classifieds Group has over 30 websites serving customers around the world. The bigger sites have local teams, each run day-to-day as an independent start-up. They benefit from local autonomy with the backing of a multi-national. The offices I worked at each have their own unique culture ranging from good to great. I worked with some very talented colleagues who were also fun to work with.

Cons

The main challenges were the growing pains found at many successful start-ups.
