Pros

Salary is OK Package is OK They talk the talk Colleagues are nice oK

Cons

Stagnant growth in the market while ecommerce roars ahead Brand is indistinct No visionary outlook - can you tell me what eBay stands for? Poor management with lifetime adherence to the company driven by generous wages but a total lack of creative response to market conditions Platform technology is crude and bad user experience Controlling and abusive management culture - pings for every thing, even things you were not told about Diversity challenged - lifetime employees run the show Weak HR - allows a culture of controlling abusiveness to prevail Career suicide - unless you're a brick, in which case, build a wall

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.
