Does anyone know about layoffs at ebay? Like how many times it had happened? How is company in general doing? Growth prospects in terms of revenue and profit? Any insights from people working at ebay?
Like in general people are happy and see their future there or it is sinking ship and they are looking for new jobs already??

The company itself is doing much better than in the recent past, and growth is accelerating. There are still so many issues to fix, though, and I think if you’re good at what you do, it’s a great company to be at to have visibility and be noticed
I would say that the people in the latter group are happier overall. When they were laid off it was awful, but they moved into new jobs quickly.
Layoffs at eBay happen at least twice per year, but they are normally contained to specific roles - for example, getting rid of the analytics wing in India last year. The last truly large layoffs happened when eBay and PayPal split - eBay had to look good for the street and apparently the best way to go to that party is with a bunch of heads in a basket.
