Pros

Great team. eBay hires solid people at the individual contributor level. All my co-workers are hard-working, intelligent, sharp developers. There's no lack of talent.

eBay also has above-average compensation and awesome work-life balance. It's a healthy place to work.

Cons

The tech stack. eBay's technology is years behind its major competitor, Amazon. It's getting more current, but that takes time. There has been a solid push at the company for the last year or so to revamp old processes, and we're seeing a lot of that work paying off.

Middle management seems to lack direction at times. Upper management has a pretty clear vision for company growth, but middle management often changes the approach to achieve their goals.

Advice to Management

Continue investing in technology. Grow by giving your engineers the best tools and opportunities to create great products.
