eBay reviews

Some things I don't like: - Shipping code: OMG things move so slowly; Lots of old legacy code - Operations: This company needs a COO to fix things; API dev sandbox doesn't work; Quarterly planning bureaucracy is ridiculous; Small changes require way too much discussion - Very poor diversity: Staff isn't representative of our buyers and sellers; There seems to be a huge bias in product and eng towards hiring people from India (usually by managers who are from India) - Many of the eng and product team don't use eBay and therefore don't understand customer needs - People who work in product and eng report lower job satisfaction (not terrible, but lower than local biz unit) indicative of work load + pain in shipping code - Product mgr turnover was high in 2021; Lots of people I know left - Long term biz outlook: We need more buyers...losing the youth market

The company constantly promises growth internally, including with pay. I have been promised a promotion 4 different times in a year with no differences. My performance has been praised, with nothing but a ‘nice’ to show for it. Very demotivating. When reaching out to management for questions or concerns, if you are lucky enough to get a response, it is often responded with a false promise to follow back up. They rave about their amazing benefits, when I have had much much better benefits at every other company I’ve worked for. I’ve never paid so much for Dr visits in my life. WITH insurance. They do not care about their employees, unless you are management and allow no sick leave without dipping into your paid time off. If you don’t have enough- they will put that in the negative before they just let you be sick, so your time away from work is minimal. Colleagues have had to miss their own fathers funeral due to this. Otherwise they would have lost their job. We also been promised for over a year that we would be able to change our schedule to a different shift start time or days you work, which is also has never come to fruition. This company has nothing positive to offer, aside from the work from home option.
