Low technology and long hours
Low technology and long hours
A lot of talented people. Decent management. No corruption. It is a stable place to work.
Way too long hours.
eBay technology is a bottleneck, and people are forced to use it.
The company is driven by processes; it is disappointing for engineers.
The company is totally top-down, meaning engineers' opinions matter little.
No time to slow down, rethink, and do something better.
Old-timers who do something repetitively are liked better.
Managers decide performance with little peer feedback.
It matters to impress senior management more than doing something better.
Managers are too old to understand new technologies or new trends.
From a technology perspective, eBay is 10 years behind the rest of the companies.
There are a lot of old-timers who shot down any new ideas.
