Pros

Work-life balance, talented people still left there, scale of operations does pose some interesting engineering challenges, decent benefits and pay.

Cons

Suffocating politics, after some time you will start seeing the real hidden agenda of your colleagues and managers, it is not their fault, they want to grow and they have no other option that playing as per the system. Incompetent managers, ebay has somehow managed to attract all the inept engineers out there in managers role, they thrive and let only of their kind to thrive.

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.
