Avantages

eBay handles a lot of traffic and has a very innovative architecture. It also scales parallel software development. It's a good place to learn how to design a site for high traffic and high productivity in terms of a lot of feature development.

Inconvénients

There is very little place for innovation. Management is averse to rocking the boat, and as a result, the business is stagnating.

You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4.
