Pluspunten

Free gym. Lots of in house parties. Big Campus. eBay is an ageless idea. You to learn a lot in terms of business, domain, and collaborating with lot of other teams.

Minpunten

1) No work life balance 2) Very poor management 3) Worse place for any honest and talented person to thrive - Use of proprietary technology is a pain to deal with. - People who do a lot of lip service get rewarded. - Unreasonable project timelines - Management believes in just getting their work done, it doesn't matter how badly one is breaking one or all of the software engineering principles. - Even a Sixth grader can do a Product managers job in most of the dev teams. Believe me as a developer you almost do everything - Management is looking to hire candidates who can where multiple hats but will pay you for wearing only one of them .... - Managers are not technically sound. They are not even qualified in terms of having a good related computer science and/or MBA degree. - Promotions are a joke. 4) I have seen amazing and very talented software professionals breaking down in terms of motivation. 5) It will be of no surprise if you happen to hear that one is verbally tortured and harassed by upper management and their cronies.

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
