eBay FAQ

Pros

Friendly, professional atmosphere Sabbatical programme (additional 4 weeks PTO every 5 years) Very interesting and complicated business with opportunities globally Good work/life balance

Cons

Lots of change as the business adapts to meet competitive challenges Legacy issues arising from being one of the dotcom pioneers

Advice to Management

Forge our own path and remain distinctive, relevant and modern in an increasingly competitive environment

Pros

Great benefits for medical, dental and vision. I've often heard my dentist say I have the best dental insurance if that says anything. The work atmosphere is great, personable with lots of support. Often times companies say that they are family oriented and that usually means the work family. Not at Ebay. They want to help with the work life balance, and also know that life happens and are willing to work with you. They have a lot of fun events for everyone as well, most of it, you can bring your family. There are team and floor potlucks every week, so get ready to gain a few pounds!

Cons

The constant desk moving every month or other month can be frustrating.

Pros

good pay, benefits, and maternity leave

Cons

annual layoffs and constant reorgs

Pros

Health insurance, pension, shares, good facilities and plenty of annual leave

Cons

Targets, targets, targets! Poor leadership from directors and senior management

Advice to Management

Don't close offices such as Dundalk and then open a second office in Dublin and a new headquarters in America! Don't mess with your staff's livelihoods and careers! Don't take your staff for granted.

Pros

Health insurance, life insurance

Cons

Lot of late shifts
