Pros

Compensation, Nothing else, Nothing else, Nothing else, Nothing else

Cons

I gave one star for the compensation, but eBay makes sure every penny you get paid is earned by you by draining you with work, without even letting you to finish your on boarding. I was asked to finish my on boarding training after business hours and was asked to provide an estimate on tickets on my first week at work. To summarize, toxic environment, bad work culture that doesn't care about employee's personal life, negative work life balance, discrimination, unnecessary escalations and design meetings everyday that run for hours and nothing productive during those hours wasting developer's time. Manager has no clue about any projects and only wants to finish the projects before the timeline cutting short the development process. Every manager wants to be a hero in this company by making the managees work extra hours day and night and during weekends, taking away time from family.

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.
