Run Away!!!!

- Chris is an awesome CEO
- Terrific c-sat scores
If you are an engineer or a proponent of modern engineering management, RUN AWAY!! Honestly, if you are not in engineering or product management or engineering operations, you'll love this place.
Engineering organization at StubHub is a genuine Moronocracy, headed by an eBay reject who actively encourages cronyism and politics. In fact, you will do wonderfully if you can suspend all rationality and excel in kissing ass!
The next level below CTO is pure Poison. Three genuine idiots (you know who you are) bereft of skills and maturity of even a junior manager, continue to lead with blatant ignorance and insecurity that makes it a living hell for people who are capable of thinking.
These 3Ms are the root of all things terrible with StubHub and have filled the ranks with more yes men and women than bright, competent, and passionate professionals.
It's truly shameful how they screwed up the work culture and stifled creativity. The sad thing is while there are still a couple of great engineers and managers left, no one listens to them, and most of the good ones have already left.
Unless Chris T. takes an active interest in engineering and cleans up the top two layers, there is no hope.

The interviewer covered mostly my resume. He asked all sorts of programming questions related to my resume. Few questions were about their application and the process, and what I thought to use to test the application. Overall, it was good.
