      Pros

      Ebay has always had a good mission, the management people and lack of new thinking in infrastructure teams under the current CTO is disappointing.

      Cons

      Long grueling work hours in data infrastructure team. Confusion abounds on Data Infrastructure, folks who suck up are promoted and retained, those who do not are managed out. HR protects management, if you speak up it all goes back to management and then they begin to make a strategy to exit you. Favoritism abounds. Beware.

      Pros

      It is equivalent to winning the lottery for a dream job.

      Cons

      Sunday work can be challenging- due to daycare challenges, but ebay supports work/life balance so its not really a con

      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.
