Pros

Smart people, still one of the premier Internet brands. If you can connect with eBay's business model and mission, then that can make it a fun place to work because you see how the community of eBay buyers and sellers make sure eBay continues to be relevant.

Cons

Lots of politics and, as a result, management is not always selected based on competence. Slow career advancement and development. High stress environment. Frequent re-org's (every 9 months or so) reflect management's inability to provide clear vision or build a strong organization. As a result, you can easily find yourself in a job you don't want or aren't necessarily qualified for, and you aren't set up for success.

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.
