Smart colleagues, work on many types of problems rather than specialize
Stupid higher management, and your sanity depends on your manager a lot
Is there an eBay promo code anyone is willing to share? I noticed they had 10% off watches but I missed the deadline. It's funny how they never send alerts or emails to let us know that these deals are coming up.
What's a reasonable time frame to receive a promotion at ebay for new grads?
Recently interviewed Facebook and got an E5 offer. I am currently MTS2 in eBay. Might get a promo in a year. Facebook's offer is 350k per year. While my current offer is 400k per year. I feel like work is too slow in eBay with crappy infrastructure but management is just content with my current pro...Read more

I am an upper mid level (L7) PMM at Facebook. I like it here overall and have been here about 1.5 years. Director promo, though, will take time...

Stuck as an SDE-2 with no promo in sight. Don't think I deserve it either. Teammates don't like me. Depressing work environment atleast for me. I've managed to get decent ratings somehow (a little bit of politics), but I don't think I'm a good engineer. I don't feel like working, knowing that my ca...Read more
Long post ahead. tl;dr: First pure AM experience. I'm in doubt about either: - Not being a good fit for the job at all; - eBay not being a good place to work in right now/ not being the place for me. Long read now. To give a bit more context: - I have done classic sales for a fair bit. - I'm in...Read more
