Pros

Work-life balance: if you set boundaries from day one, they are respected. I have a family and value this tremendously. Room for growth & impact: my area of eBay is like a startup within the company, so there's a ton of room to make an impact and pave a path for success. DEI: proud that eBay still values DEI despite a shift in government values

Cons

R&R ambiguity: PMM is a newer organization, so we still need to establish our place amongst our XFN partners, which is challenging. Benefits: are not horrible, but could be better. would like more flex time off and better health insurance costs.

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
