Pluspunten

Great people, wonderful atmosphere and fantastic benefits in London

Minpunten

Poor management, sometimes condescending, who believe they know better than engineers "on the floor". This "features over quality, do what I say" attitude that seems to have pervaded into what was once a dynamic, agile eBay sub culture in London. Unfortunately this attitude will not improve anything, legacy code needs time and care. Despite the company touting we should "deliver with impact", if you step out of line with delivery timelines or feature stack, you will be penalised for doing so.

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
