What’s going on at eBay? You hear how Silicon Valley job market is booming and companies have trouble hiring fast enough. Why is that not the case at eBay?
Most of the people laid off have been offered to join again😂
I know some people who were asked to join. Didn't know it was many
I am looking for engineering talent managers as well as ic ,please connect
I feel so demotivated. The stock is tanking. It was same a year ago. Nothing makes sense. There are reorg of the reorg. Every company in bay area is booming. Stocks are rising but for Ebay everything is so stagnant.
I wonder if that is why ebay has been giving me coupons in my email.
Mood
The smart guys that I knew at eBay jumped the sinking ship years ago. PayPal was a nice opportunity to jump onto if you were at eBay at the time of separation.
Too much politics in PayPal
The issue we have is active buyer growth is at its lowest point since records began. GMV is stable mostly due to seo optimisations last year redirecting to higher value items / landing pages and guest checkout launching this year. That said, we can't keep squeezing forever. We are haemorrhaging users, and if we don't fix that, we are doomed. But no amount of coupons or bullshit brand campaigns are going to fix that. We need to invest in the product. All great brands are ultimately supported by a great product.
I think ebay is trying hard to course correct the ship. Making huge investments in infrastructure and product development. I think are eliminating a lot of roles that are not useful in this transformation journey such as DBAs, old Java devs, etc. Lets see hiw it works out?
Nope, not sure who told you that one.
@Buzzard, told me what?

That makes more of a reason to hire! eBay is very profitable so definitely cash was not the reason for the layoffs
