eBay reviews

Shady management, Provide opportunities to YES Boss people

eBay is constantly in a state of transition, going through leadership changes, drastic strategy changes, and mass layoffs nearly every quarter. These seem to be predominately knee jerk reactions vs. long term strategy based off data, innovation, and collaboration. Employee moral was very low throughout most of the time I was with eBay, due to a gross lack of communication and team building during major transition and layoff periods, a constant change in strategy requiring constant pivots, to the point employees are mostly fixing and reacting to changes, and due to a complete lack of regard for company culture. Suzy, the former America's CMO actually told many employees that the last thing she should care about is culture; that instead employees should be grateful to work for eBay. Employees are worked so hard, given tasks that easily make up 70+ hours of work weekly, and while leadership encourages employees to speak up if they can't handle their workload, when they do they are told that "this is just eBay. Take it or leave it". During the most recent round of layoffs, eBay randomly put employees in positions that did not at all align with their skill set, previous roles, or career ambition, and actually demoted a good amount of employees with these changes.
