eBay Careers & Info

Current CEO: Jamie Iannone

Status: Active

eBay, Inc. is the corporation that operates ebay.com, an online commerce platform that uses an auction model to facilitate the sale of goods and services among individuals and businesses. EBay was one of the first companies to pioneer ecommerce as a business model and remains one of the Internet’s great success stories, managing to generate over $9 billion in revenues annually without inventory or huge capital expenditures.

eBay is headquartered in San Jose, California, but maintains localized operations in over 30 countries worldwide. The company is divided into two divisions: Marketplaces and Payments.

Although eBay has expanded into other types of ecommerce transactions, its core business is still its auction services, where everything from consumer electronics to an entire small town may be bid upon. Once primarily a consumer-to-consume play, today eBay’s auctions also allow businesses to sell to consumers and to each other. Increasingly, however, the company seems to be moving to a fixed price platform as users of its auction services deactivate at increasing rates.

The Payments division is centered around Paypal, a brokerage for Internet-mediated payments and money transfers which eBay acquired in 2002. In the past few years, Paypal has begun showing traction as a payment platform independent of its eBay partnership.

eBay employs over 17,000 workers, most of them within the United States. eBay careers are coveted: Employees genuinely like working at eBay. The eBay culture is playful and collegial, offering employees plenty of team-building percs like quarterly retreats, bicycles on which to cruise the eBay campus, two fully equipped gyms and flexible working schedules. The salary for MBAs and tech workers is competitive with other Silicon Valley tech companies. Fortune Magazine lists eBay as one of the 100 best companies to work for.

eBay benefits are generous. Employees can choose among medical plans to find the coverage that’s best for them and their families. They also receive dental, vision and life insurance, a 401(k) and the opportunity to purchase stock. Depending on how long they’ve worked at eBay, employees receive between 16 and 20 days of Paid Time Off every year, which they can use either as sick time or vacation time. eBay employees also receive four weeks of sabbatical time for every five years they work.
