eBay

eBay has a group of very smart people working for them. If you end up in the right group, you can have a real great time learning while you work. Work-life balance has improved over the years. The company also takes very good care of its employees.

Even though work-life balance has improved in the last few years, release cycles being too frequent cause work to be still hectic, and it happens in cycles.

Not enough time is provided for each employee to invest in innovation.

Too many changes and useless products are being shipped to the site, which increases the clutter.

Make the site simpler and reduce the number of release cycles.

The corporate structure is top-heavy. Too many managers and not enough engineers in some groups.

Hire managers who are technical and not just people managers. Move this company to being more technical at every level instead of just having engineers do the technical work while managers just run meetings.
