Pros

Nice people Nice office Competitive Pay. Kitchen fully stacked Great office location 2 days in the office 3 days from home

Cons

Job stressful and repetitive. Tight deadlines. No room for self expression. No career opportunities. Unclear upper management decisions on lay-off and restructuration. High pressure to be present in evening meetings that are not always relevant to all participants. Lots of AWF which work conditions dont match the ebay employees.

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
