Pros

Only eBay/PayPal facilities are good .

Cons

Very bad practice in recognition of the employee's contributions ..always biased in promotions and in decisions making.Employees rarely get a chance for the promotion to next level or next role No work from home facility available for production support guys, which is very rediculous thing when compare to other small companies.There are so many constrains on WFH. At one bad day it did layoffs all of sudden and also simultaneously it was trying to recruit the external staff from outside sources ..not sure why it is unable to utilize the long serviced employees instead of getting from outside .It shows that lack of commitement for the company so as to help the existing employees and don't care about the employee safe guards at all and by any means employee's concerns are not respected

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
