Pros: They have top-notch benefits and pay.

Cons: First, under no circumstances work here if you are in QA. You are not even a human being if you are in QA. The whole company looks down on QA as some sort of second-class citizen that they want to get rid of as soon as possible, and the executives will say it to your face if they don't know you're in QA. It's a bad place for development, too. They have a bunch of proprietary technologies they use, and learning those is a gigantic waste of time. First, you're learning to use badly written code, poorly designed user interfaces, and toolsets that can only be described as antediluvian. It's madness. The technologies you are learning to work with are used by no other company in the world because it's proprietary. When I was there, they had their own version of cloud services for internal use. It was terrible, and you need to be using an industry-standard platform like AWS or Azure if you want career growth outside eBay. It is a great place to be a manager. Managers are given a whole different level of treatment than regular employees, and they generally don't get laid off in the rounds of layoffs that occur once or twice a year.

Pros: Popular company, reaching millions of users.

Cons: Too much politics. The technology group has very poor leadership (VP levels) that mainly focuses on politics and takes care of their yes men. Tech is old. New processes in shopping experience can take 2-3 years instead of several weeks.

Pros: People are nice. Good work-life balance.

Cons: The future doesn't look very bright.
