eBay is stuck in a wheel which goes round and round but never goes up :(
eBay is stuck in a wheel which goes round and round but never goes up :(
The brand is well recognized. The company is full of intelligent people to learn from. It's a good place to learn about how internet business works.
The middle management is very incompetent and totally screwed up. They are busy in too many useless meetings and keep dishing out BS to employees.
Too much politics.
Compensation here is lower than average. Promotions are given based more on politics than actual job performance.
Bloated infrastructure and organization. Change is slow and by the time it happens, it is often outdated. Very few opportunities for career advancement.
Clean up the fat layer from the middle.
Get rid of the middle layer instead of getting rid of engineers.
There are way too many directors and VPs for a company this size.
