A recruiter reached out for a senior position and I ended up doing well on the phone screen and onsite portion that I am expected to get an offer of around 210 TC. Recruiter mentioned this is a MTS-1 position and this will be on search services team in San Jose. I have 4 YOE. However, I have searched Blind on how there is are constant reorgs and layoffs at Ebay that it makes me worried to join or even consider relocating. When I asked further questions, I learned that the team seems to be scrambling to find to help deal with technical debt and doesn't like to discuss the constant layoffs happening. At the moment, I am considering turning the offer down and possibly looking for a more stable company elsewhere. Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated. If anyone who has left Ebay recently, interviewed with them, know anyone who is currently there have any information they would be willing to share with me, it would help out a lot. Also any information regarding search services and how stable it is. #ebay
Nice people, challenging work and good WLB. I personally loved eBay as a company but I resigned because of constant layoffs and reorgs.
Left Ebay a year ago. Stay away if you can.
They need to buy PayPal to turn things around!
In their dreams we have grown 4 times bigger than them
Stay away if you have any other option
You heard it. There are plenty of eBay lay-off threads in eBay space, just not in tech lounge. Management is no good and highly politicized. There is lack of vision, execution and enthusiasm to drive things to completion.
Well well well how the turntables.
It depends on the Team. Stay away from Selling, the Engineering and Product culture is toxic x10. Haven’t heard good things about Search either.
any insights about the shipping team?
Don’t join, eBay is at its worst time. Looking for my exit from there as well. Highly politicized with personal agendas and management with no accountability
Don’t join ebay at this time. The constant reorgs and layoffs have created a toxic culture. Imagine how demotivating it is to show up to work each day knowing half your team is looking to get out.
One of the worst places i have worked. Leadership is dumb, seriously low IQ and low Empathy
Turn back and run away
