Pros

I actually really enjoyed working at this company. I was proud to be part of the eBay family and enjoyed testing new ideas and strategies.

Cons

eBay has many of the same issues as other companies in Silicon Valley, there is a lot of nepotism when it comes to hiring and promotions, discrimination in employment and promotions, and it is saturated with political back-stabbing.

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.
