Pros

Sorry, But I cannot really think of anything very positive to say here. Ebay WAS a great company. Absolutely revolutionary. It literally changed the way the world did business by providing a truly level venue for the free market to operate worldwide. However, the fun friendly spirit of ebay is dead. It is a corporate zombie hell.

Cons

Company has lost any sense of what the original ebay community represented. The company has completely lost its vision. The community values that made ebay a fun, friendly, vibrant community are gone, replaced by greed and corporatism. Business schools will study ebay as a model of failure.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
