Pros

The first thing that comes to mind is "mobile". eBay is a mobile leader and if you've noticed, mobile is everywhere now. They have the top talent in the industry and there's no slowing down the momentum of their mobile team.

Cons

Some of the other companies that are integrated into the ecosystem are still having a difficult time navigating their new environment. They need to come to terms with the fact that it is one company and use the best practices, and hopefully improve on them too, that have are in place.

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
