eBay is a very fast-paced environment that demands high quality results. The most challenging aspect of working at eBay was keeping quality high while producing a large amount of work in a very short period of time. Fortunately, eBay is filled with some of the most talented and intelligent people I have ever worked with. I could always count on having plenty of other experts around for advice....
