Pros

A world class big data environment for data science and analysis. A great name to have on a resume.

Cons

eBay is generally a sloppy company with no clear idea of what it wants to be. It wants to be grouped with the major stars of SV but they no longer have the will or elan to run with the big dogs. All of their initiatives both internal and external come off as half baked and half hearted.

Pros

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.

Cons

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
