Pros
Compare to big companies, like Google, eBay is small. So it is easier to connect with people and to understand the business. People are generally nice. Work-life balance is good. Although there is no free lunch at eBay, the other benefits are good, a few team events over the year and a big company event at theme park every year.
Cons
The tech is somewhat behind. No career development. Promotion is hard if you are not "manager's people". A product-manager controlled company, scientists and engineers must do what PMs ask to do. Some people don't contribute too much but still stay well in the company.
