Pluspunten

eBay is one of the oldest, biggest companies on the internet -- and so it's an honor to work for the company that has pioneered so much. The infrastructure is incredibly complex and the challenges are of a scale greater than most competitors can ever imagine. It's great to be a part of this organization and play in this type of arena. Also, there are tons of resources to help work on stuff.

Minpunten

It's surprisingly expensive (in terms of engineering days) to get anything built. Lots of process keeps eBay reliably online with lots of 9's but also helps to add a lot of friction towards building new things. Also, the bar to hire has been set far too low for some time.

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
