Pros

Looks good on a resume, compensation is reasonable, benefits are good part of a well known respectable global organization. There are some really smart people at eBay and as a result there is the potential to learn a great deal.

Cons

Company has had no momentum in the past 4 years. Its bureaucratic, bloated, slow moving, and all within a stale, stiff and unmotivated culture. Many of the people who are in upper management have been there forever and have never had any challenge growing eBay in the past. Now that eBay has stopped growing they are unsure how to move forward.

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.
