      eBay the best place to work on earth

      Product management director
      Recommend

      Pros

      The people and the environment are the best reason to work for eBay. They have some of the top services in the industry for employes, which includes: cafe, gym, outdoor grounds, cubicles, computers and support staff. The company cares about your development and success at the company. They offer 20 -40 classes per quarter for self development, which is applicable to any company. The company is open to idea generation and completely supports unconventional thinking.

      Cons

      Competition and economy effects on the stock market seem to be the biggest downsides of working with eBay. The bay area is competitive and people leave for the next hot idea constantly.

      You can do well AND do good

      Associate manager, marketing

      Pros

      Your co-workers are some of the best and most motivated in the industry. If you're a high performer and have been frustrated with people not pulling their weight in the past, this place is like home. Plus eBay's mission is very inspiring! I come to work each day knowing that what I do contributes to the livelihood of so many people that might not otherwise have incomes. From the furniture-maker in a small village in India, to the retiree supplementing his Social Security, we've helped them find a market for their goods and gain financial independance.

      Cons

      Doing an exceptional job is the norm around here, so it's hard to stand out or get special recognition. And obviously, we're trying to make some fundamental improvements to the marketplace right now (2007/2008), and it's causing sellers a lot of pain. We all wish it could happen without that. The press has been pretty one-sided about what is going on,

      A rewarding challenge for problem solvers and thrill seekers

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is a work environment sure to challenge the ambitious and reward the successful. The company is in the midst of a transformation, and for those up to the job, they will forever be able to say that they were there when an American icon turned the corner (or didn't).

      Cons

      It is a stressful environment, and should be. Millions of people rely on us for their livlihoods and we take that responsibility seriously...and because we don't always fulfill those customers' needs completely, it can be a real pressurecooker.
