Pros

in general a great business idea that still works, great co-workers, global reach, interesting / challenging projects, work/life balance, social benefits, complex product (if you are a tech product guy), internal job opportunities (PayPal, Kijiji, StubHub, etc)., quite good cafeteria, its an interesting time to work at ebay at the moment - the company is at the edge

Cons

quarterly driven, no longterm vision (or changing it from year to year), too many internal reviews with upper management (doesn't feel as if you got real ownership of your area), MBA-heavy, too many re-organisations, medium pay, location of the offices (1h ride from SF)

Pros

It is equivalent to winning the lottery for a dream job.

Cons

Sunday work can be challenging- due to daycare challenges, but ebay supports work/life balance so its not really a con

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.
