Pros

Generous pay and benefits Culture based on positive reinforcement

Cons

Incompetence is accepted and even expected Significant penalties for rocking the boat Siloed job responsibilities make it tough for any individual to make a significant difference 30+ hours of meetings a week leave little time to get real work done Too much focus on status reporting and too little focus on results

Pros

Flexible hours, great pay, nice coworkers, ability to travel.

Cons

Long hours, much of the engineering work is outsourced, the technology used to build the product is very heavy handed for the result.

"Great" place to work...

Pros

Great place to work; free soda machines, bagels, great breakrooms stuffed with supplies much better than 7-eleven. Perks that pampered employees.

Cons

Politics are very apparent in almost every aspect of the company. The company lost it's focus; are we a bank or a technology innovation company? We are seeing ex-bankers taking up top jobs creating their own empires, behaving like warlords killing off team members that are not on their side. Fighting eBay internally is secondary objective.
