Pluspunten

Lot of talented people Decent management No corruption It is a stable place to work

Minpunten

way too long hours. ebay technology is a bottleneck and people are forced to use it. company is driven by processes, it is disappointing for engineers. company is totally top-down, meaning engineers' opinion matters little. No time to slow down, rethink and do something better. Old timers who do something repetitively are liked better. Managers decide performance with little peer feedback. It matters to impress the senior management than doing something better. Managers are too old, to understand new technologies or new trends.

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
