I actually really enjoyed working at this company. I was proud to be part of the eBay family and enjoyed testing new ideas and strategies.
Minpunten
eBay has many of the same issues as other companies in Silicon Valley, there is a lot of nepotism when it comes to hiring and promotions, discrimination in employment and promotions, and it is saturated with political back-stabbing.

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.
Minpunten
1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement
2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team
3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025.
4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
