Pluspunten

There are many challenging problems to be solved at eBay, which can make for intellectually stimulating work. Also, though the talent level does vary, there are many smart people within the organization who are fun to work with by and large.

Minpunten

It all starts at the top and eBay is fundamentally lacking in leadership or and vision. The Company is facing enormous strategic challenges but no one has shown me a coherent (and credible) plan for addressing them. Sorry, but "Trust, Value, and Selection" and "Deals you can talk about" just doesn't cut it for me. The people who run the marketplace business have demonstrated time and again that they don't understand technology, product development, and the core problems eBay's site, which leads them to seek quick fixes instead of demonstrating the patience and fortitude to address the big problems which won't deliver short-term benefits.

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
