Pros

Talented people. Great benefits and work life balance. Great product and platform. Customers love to share their story with you about how ebay inspires them and allows them to be successful. Provided some wonderful development opportunities. Super fun activities throughout the year to keep employees engaged. Communications team at the higher levels is great. Loved the company, hated the politics and bureaucracy.

Cons

CS supervisors not held accountable to driving success nor holding their agents accountable. Running a project was much more important than the success of your team. Promotions within a supervisor and manager role given based on favoritism and how many projects you could complete even if your team was neglected at the sake of the cx experience. Too many cooks in the kitchen when it came to getting anything fixed or improved which made it impossible to get it done. Customer experience suffers because it's so hard to get improvement of products and tools. Poor partnership with project/product management and those affected by said projects/products. Tool changes roll out prior to being ready(most likely trying to hit a deadline) at the detriment to the agent/customer experience. Some people managers didn't know how to manage people. Some were put in roles due to being subject matter experts for the department instead of experience with managing people.

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
