Pluspunten

eBay's work - life balance is good. The pay is reasonable for what the job entails (although somewhat scanty for such an expensive part of the country). Benefits and perks are acceptable. It's easy to take a vacation when you want. In short, eBay is not a bad place to find yourself for a few years. It looks good on the resume, and can lead to better things elsewhere.

Minpunten

Company has no clear direction for future. Turnaround efforts seem ill-thought out. Great ideas are poorly funded, and so poorly executed. Too much focus on short- term gain at the expense of long -term growth. On a personal level, no real support for continuing education, growth opportunities, making connections and participating outside the office. Belief that travel to conferences and such is not necessary because "anything important happens in the bay area."

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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
