Pros

Nice People, flexible work schedule, willing to push out deadlines due to practical issues/considerations

Cons

On multiple projects with different responsibilities at once, and yet still unclear what needed to be done to the point I didn’t have much to do most days. Maybe different in other departments, but my section I don’t think I heard “I don’t know the answer to that” or “I’m sorry about this problem” once from anyone but me. The more specific my questions about a specification or process got, the more silence I heard. Given the recent layoff (2024) people had reason to be afraid for their jobs.

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

Cons

Sunday work can be challenging- due to daycare challenges, but ebay supports work/life balance so its not really a con

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.
