Pros

eBay is a fast paced, large company that in a lot of ways still has its start up mentality. Some days there 's endless red tape to go through and other days we can stop on a dime and change directions. Everyone who works at eBay is dedicated, I have yet to meet anyone who we have to cover for. When faced with difficult tasks or projects, it is truly inspiring to watch everyone pitch in and power through whatever is in the way. In the past few years, management has encouraged its employees to have good balance between work and personal life. This really has made a big difference for everyone.

Cons

eBay will work you, there are no slackers at eBay. The work environment is intense, the moment you enter the office til the moment you leave, there is stuff to do. If can't mulitask, you won't do well.

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.
