Pros: This is like the best working place. The cafe is so hygienic.

Cons: I don’t feel there is any.

Pros: - Good benefits (4% 401k match, paid maternity/paternity leave, tuition assistance, ride sharing reimbursement, work from home). - Ok pay (Average base salary, 10% annual bonus, stocks). - Work-life balance. - Most people are very helpful and easy to work with.

Cons: - Boring projects, menial tasks, little freedom, too many processes. Don’t let the location trick you; eBay is not a Silicon Valley company. This is a horrible place to work at as a passionate developer who wants to build and ship things. If you chose to be a developer because coding is your passion, you’ll absolutely hate this place. But you’ll love it if you care most about retirement and benefits. - There is no diversity in engineering teams; 90% percent of people are from the same country. The company is known as an H1-B shop. People say yes to everything because almost everyone’s life literally depends on eBay – they have to stay at the company for 8+ years to get their residency. - Old tech stack. Some teams adopted a newer tech stack, but they still use eBay's own front-end framework for some reason (Marko). It’s fun to work with, but no one will recognize it on your resume. If you are a full-stack or front-end developer, this is worrying. - Risk-averse, slow-moving, bureaucratic. - If you want to leave before the one-year mark, they will ask you to pay the full amount of the sign-on bonus, including taxes.

Pros: Engineers are creators, and software engineers create unique software that is used by many. If you become a professional software engineer, you will feel happy each time you see your software working.

Cons: If you don’t learn new technology, you will not be able to progress an inch in your career. So, there is a high possibility of staying stuck in the same position for years.
