Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility in working remotely and in schedule is great. Peer relationships with team members around the globe is really great. Compensation is just fine and the benefits and other perks are quite good.

Cons

Leadership has been lacking and growing worse for a couple of years now. While us "grunts" have enough background to know what needs to be done and usually do it, we still need a solid, evolving strategy. Too often it seems that we are still jumping from one thing to the next.

Business Outlook

Pros

The multicultural environment is great, and people do gain valuable insight into their respective areas of expertise. My department is staffed by wonderful, hardworking, intelligent people.

Cons

1. Disorganization 2. Shifting Priorities 3. Leadership that consumed too much of its own Koolaide and can't see reality. 4. The cost of living in the Bay area, is too high for the salaries and benefits to make working for eBay a serious long term proposition.
