Pros

Best base salary and other benefits. Bereavement holidays apart from regular PTO's, if you lose any of your loved ones. Which helped me last year. Flexible work schedule. Work life balance. Freedom to work on different stack. Using latest technology. Encouraging employees to learn more like ML. In eBay several hackathon projects are contacted and you get 1 week off from your regular work which is cool. We get to learn new things and invent cool ideas/products. It is fast based environment. Nice friendly colleagues. It's like my second family. Very good leadership group who are easily approachable anytime and they listen to our concerns. ...

Cons

Our Cafe food is little pricy.

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
