Pros

When you can't find a position anywhere else. Ebay was much better under Meg...not perfect just better.

Cons

Management couldn't care less about ideas for improvement. Only senior management is listened to but rarely has real input since Donahoe came on board. His ego is tremendous and he truly believes that his disruptive innovation will work. Unfortunately he refuses to admit it hasn't worked.

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.
