Process
I went through two, hour-long phone interviews before being turned down. They asked questions about distributed systems and my experience, then moved onto programming questions. Afterwards, I could ask questions to them. Everyone was really nice throughout the whole process, and the questions were fair.

Pros: Work-life balance, talented people still left there, scale of operations does pose some interesting engineering challenges, decent benefits and pay.
Cons: Suffocating politics. After some time, you will start seeing the real hidden agenda of your colleagues and managers. It is not their fault; they want to grow and have no other option than playing as per the system.
Incompetent managers. eBay has somehow managed to attract all the inept engineers into management roles. They thrive and let only those of their kind thrive.
