Pros

Pay is okay, not great, but not bad. Culture and peers are generally nice to work with. Some very smart people, in select groups. Some interesting products in terms of development of the eBay site

Cons

Outsource too much. Hire a lot of people who are not creative, just to get the project done. Very little focus on stability of the system and quality of code Very, Very, Very bad build and release system, all built in house. Business Unit changes their mind very often as to what they want, make for very low quality site.

Pros

I work for Paypal, a company owned by Ebay. Paypal has 70M+ active users and it is a challenge to keep the system up that works flawlessly. My main responsibility is to write software using C++ in Unix environment. With more than 6 years of experience in software development, I enjoy doing this and each day I learn something new. Sometimes new features of C++ which I put it in practice. Other times tackling live-issues and debugging code.

Cons

Stressful at times, supporting opeartions till late night, complex code base, maintenance work. Paypal is too process driven company and sometimes it is just frustrating
