Pros

eBay is a good place to work - they strive to be a great place to work, but do not achieve that standard. Their benefits are good, their compensation is above average. You won't be too stressed and you'll be able to have a good work-life balance. HR has been working on leadership development.

Cons

eBay is too big. It even seems bigger than it is. It is filled with ex-consultants. If you work there, I would try to work inside on of the businesses. Also, be prepared for A LOT of Powerpoint - making slides is a critical skill.

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.
