      Great company to cut your teeth in, but being top heavy stifles progression - Anonymous employee eBay Employee Review

      Pros

      I joined eBay straight from university and have found it to be an amazing firm to learn and develop your trade and experience, with plenty of interesting projects and challenges to solve, and experience to gain on the way

      Cons

      Whilst the learning is great I feel like the company is quite top heavy and people who are comfortable where they are will stay there as long as it continues to serve them. This makes upward mobility quite tough outside of promotion cycles as no one is leaving and therefore the opportunities to step up and into more senior roles is stifled by the limited openings

      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
