Good co-workers, but the environment can be a grind

Pros

eBay is one of the largest internet sites, so you can learn a lot here.

I also found most of my co-workers are quite competent.

Cons

The work environment can be a grind. People are packed in, and they're shoe-horning in even more. I think the only reason why they might tolerate you working at home is if you have leprosy.

Advice to Management

Management flip-flops too often. The company needs technical leadership.

It seems like the place is run by a bunch of numbers-driven MBAs whose vision doesn't extend beyond yesterday's sales reports.

The marketing is TERRIBLE - TERRIBLE.

I can't imagine why we pay top dollar to marketers who actively degrade the eBay brand.
