eBay vacation policy

eBay folks - Is the vacation policy flexible or everything is strictly tracked and restricted? Also How's the current wlb

eBay bbvcffgmn Dec 18, 2021

Standard PTO old style

Intel 🍈 musk OP Dec 18, 2021

Does it have good WLB balance. I've been under a micro-manager and felt horrible

eBay bbvcffgmn Dec 18, 2021

It's a hit or miss. How does your manager sound? Overall culture is supposed to be nice. People have been here for decades.

eBay β€”πŸ‘‹β€”> Dec 18, 2021

Why do you ask? what’s in it for you?

Intel 🍈 musk OP Dec 18, 2021

Expecting an offer from eBay. Just looking at options

eBay β€”πŸ‘‹β€”> Dec 18, 2021

Ok. Depends on manager and employee understanding but mostly loosely followed.

eBay stonkNibba Dec 18, 2021

It's pretty chill, depends on the manager. We don't put anything in the system for 1-2 days

eBay ebayboy Jan 20, 2022

Yes, depends on manager.

If payments, avoid. Terrible WLB, it’s not worth it.

eBay sFKA04 Dec 23, 2021

Apart from the payments org everything is good. Lot of people in my team take vacations for trips, hobbies, etc as long as u give heads up to manager & he can plan. I actually like old style pto in ebay as compared to unlimited coz it's not really unlimited.

Intel 🍈 musk OP Dec 23, 2021

Makes sense. I see unlimited PTO as a scam

WLB is great at eBay. It's full rest and vest lifestyle. I joined approximately an year back and haven't had any pressure to get shit done. (I am not an SE though - I am a a researcher).

Intel 🍈 musk OP Dec 28, 2021

Is there opportunity for growth and learning?

eBay stonkNibba Dec 28, 2021

While true for many part of the company, it's not a blanked statement. Payment has one of the worst WLB in industry and I would reccomend to avoid that org.
