Pros

Large company with lots of different things going on. Lots of areas to grow into. Lots of smart people to work with. The pay is good for the Austin area.

Cons

It can be very hectic. Often times, being in a remote site like Austin, rather than HQ in San Jose, can be a huge hurdle and definitely hinders career growth. You really need to understand the team and overarching group you join. Because if you're part of a team which is anchored in San Jose, it can be difficult to get things done and get recognized.

Definitely stick to teams which are localized if possible.

Advice to Management

Invest in your engineers and infrastructure to unlock the full potential in eBay/PayPal.
