"As in every year as part of Good Deeds Day, we continue to focus on the city where the company's offices are located, Netanya. We help through training and donations of equipment and money to the various and diverse populations that make up the city," said Adi Sichuk, head of employee experience, social responsibility and office operation at eBay Israel. "As part of eBay's global policy, we set up a year-round community donation activity across the country, and this is a great opportunity to thank the company's employees who are contributing in impressive numbers also on Good Deeds Day as throughout the year."
Ebay Israel's R&D Center is located at the Poleg industrial zone in Netanya and is in the process of expanding and absorbing new employees.
