Pluspunten

Don't work here. The offices are unpleasantly bland and there are no competitive benefits to speak of.

Minpunten

This was a career misstep. This company doesn’t care about design and never will. The design team is constantly up against the ropes and playing catch-up while the "product" (very weird org structure when looked at closely) and business teams make decisions that will never put the customer first. I felt completely trapped there. It took forever to get out because of the reputation of eBay as a company. This is where a designer's career goes to die. It was demoralizing to watch every single good idea or good design that anyone came up with be pushed off to the side. “We don’t have the budget.” “It’s too unconventional.” “It’s too risky.” This company is too afraid to do anything meaningful and too afraid of having a perspective or an opinion to survive.

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
