eBay Senior Software Developer reviews

work life balance no innovative thinking necessary no longtime planning possible because of several strategy changes no career path visible big salary gap between emploies and senior management

- 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
