      Pros

      eBay has a great name, and is still well respected by other companies in terms of experience. The brand and network go a long way. The culture is also really supportive of work-life balance and very family friendly. People in general are friendly, smart and capable, but unfortunately we face other challenges (see below). Also, I really love where eBay came from and our mission statement, though we've strayed from our roots.

      Cons

      Way too much change in direction, lack of alignment on priorities causes high churn and turnover. Also a lot of politics, with different parts of the company trying to achieve different objectives.

      Pros

      Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

      Cons

      1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
