Do they still pay salaries?
205k base here. Senior software developer.
Sounds like it's still a good tech company to me!
Duh!
eBay’s pay is on par with top tech companies
EBay uses google cloud, which was something i wanna try out at one point. This is cloud devops position.During a second interview, a senior guy from the team picked it up and he wants me to write code in java, in which I haven't done in a long time or have a passion to write in. I emailed him other alternative language such as python. He insisted to write something I don't feel comfortable in. It sounds odd to me and I withdraw from the whole interview right away.
Some teams might use Google Cloud or AWS, but all the major products use our homegrown infrastructure. We have core data centers in SLC, LVS, PHX, and soon to be Reno
@seat how is the culture there in ebay ?
eBay is as good of a company as Meg Whitman is a good CEO
It's a sinking ship but a large profitable one, will be atleast a few years where it's a risky place business wise. Comparing with visa , eBay is still a has been tech company that mattered. visa never really was..
Sinking ship with steady growth each quarter?
Give it a few more quarters..till now we optimized and squeezed whatever efficiency was possible.. without any actual meaningful customer perception change we will hit the ceiling soon.. after that stock will reverse
7 years in eBay worked on 4 different programming languages, all cool technologies you can think about filed bunch of patent launched many successful products earnings 200K as MTS .. it's my story .. I know many who works on legacy frameworks still .. it's all depends on which team you lands on
What was the break down of your total compensation?
New grad 150 total comp. according to blind Im underpaid... so looking for new gig 👀
Visa’s stock has done much better than eBays. Plus I can’t think of anything ebay is doing other than selling people’s second hand garbage.
My point is ebay hasn’t done anything innovative in many years and there doesn’t really seem to be much upside vs. V. TBH Visa has done a bit more in the innovation category lately although most of its current success can be attributed to those who build the company years ago.
Ebay and visa are both milking their brands.
