Pros

- Very competitive pay (but don't expect to get paid like a Ruby developer at Facebook) - Great benefits: Definitely above average compared to most other SV companies - Work/Life balance - Strong leadership and vision to move into untapped markets (incl . mobile and social) - Bagel Wednesdays ;-)

Cons

- It is harder for engineers to stand out due to the massive competition at eBay. For roles in marketing, sales or PM it is much easier to succeed and have a great career. - You have to be able to work well in a matrix organization (every company of this size has some level of "politics")

It is equivalent to winning the lottery for a dream job.

Cons

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
