Pros

There were plenty of challenging problems to be solved.

Cons

Horrible tech infrastructure, everyone worked from home, but vpn made it impossible to get things done. Some days it would take 5 minutes just to check your company email when connected to it. eBay also switched over to employ a large amount of contractors, extremely high turnover.

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.
