Pros

The brand name of eBay has carried a lot of weight in future jobs. Even a short sting at eBay has helped other folks I've met.

Cons

eBay in the mid 2000s was known as a place that worked its employees to the bone. I was there at that time and completely agree. The compensation was low because they knew that their brand was so popular. Nowadays the eBay brand is weaker so I've seen folks getting better eBay deals but it is difficult to find a good starting package.

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
