      Pros

      Great people, wonderful atmosphere and fantastic benefits in London

      Cons

      Poor management, sometimes condescending, who believe they know better than engineers "on the floor". This "features over quality, do what I say" attitude that seems to have pervaded into what was once a dynamic, agile eBay sub culture in London. Unfortunately this attitude will not improve anything, legacy code needs time and care. Despite the company touting we should "deliver with impact", if you step out of line with delivery timelines or feature stack, you will be penalised for doing so.

      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.
