Pluspunten

eBay Inc has great benefits including medical, vision, dental, and flex spending; an onsite gym and trainer, cafeteria, PTO, sabbaticals every 5 years. The corporation really tries to take care of employees.

Minpunten

The facility in Draper, Utah is poorly run and managed. Promotions are rarely based on merit, but if you're liked. In my 8 years there I knew 5 or fewer good supervisors. For the most part they are terrible, have different interpretations of the policies and adhere to them differently. If a supervisor doesn't like you they will watch you like a hawk until they have enough to get you fired. (Meanwhile they are almost never fired or demoted for poor performance.) The only way to get ahead there is to kiss up and hope you're well liked. The morale in many departments is very low and people are frustrated but nothing changes. Many people stick around due to great benefits and OK pay even though they are miserable. eBay's great benefits make it hard for people to feasibly leave. Promotions are very hard to come by unless you take a specific path (even then it's difficult). If you don't have a desire to become a coach, supervisor, manager, you may be out of luck. eBay has tons of cool jobs, but it's nearly impossible to get to those without going becoming a supervisor first. Many people don't want to become supervisors but have great skills in other areas, so they're held back because there's no path for them to get promoted.

Pluspunten

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
