Walmart labs, sunnyvale vs eBay, sanjose
I have offers for se3 from both. Which one has exciting work going on.
Curious, how many years of experience for se3? are you transferring from another Walmart ofc location?
I will say ebay
Why
Ebay shld do better then Walmart in future . I also was having couple of offers and picked ebay also it will be easy to move from Ebay to other companies down the line if needed
I've seen some of our lower performers at eBay get managed out and end up in higher positions at WalmartLabs.
I've some of our DNMs also go to Google and FB ๐, although not at higher positions
This. Leaving eBay to go to Walmart is a real step down. The people eBay manages out basically have an open door at Walmart. Talk to anyone at Walmart and you will hear that they just hire ex eBayers to try to copy the strategy. The CTO and head of product are both ex eBay as are many other senior folks. Why go and work copying eBay if you could earn more at eBay and learn more?
That might be true and could also be $$$
Go to ebay
I would say take eBay or go somewhere else. You could gain new perspective, learn new things, work with new folks instead of moving internally
Go to eBay. Itโs a better company and culture.
eBay sucks! Still stuck in the 90s. Half of the front end s stack are still on V3 (which is more than 10 years old. If it wasn't for the golden handcuffs that I have, I would have left this shit hole
What makes you think Walmart labs doesnโt have legacy stuff? Any company that has been in business for as long as ebay has - will have substantial tech debt. Have you worked in any other companies?
While some of what you said is true, Walmart still kicks our ass in so many area. I know plenty of people at both company. One perfect example, Walmart is now end to end Https, and where the heck are we? You can keep dreaming that your c3 shit is awesome, but as a customer, I can tell you it is pure shit.
lol just going over this thread in 2018..wonder if all the folks who rooted for ebay have the same perception? btw op.. which company did u end up joining eventually?
Do you mind telling ur offers ? Walmart labs is supposed to be cut throat in terms of work pressure
140k base + 30k stock + 30k signon - ebay 135k base + 30k stock + good annual bonus and stock options - labs
30k stock for one year or 4 years?...Ebay sucks .. go to Walmart
