Pros

1) Free food (for some) - it's a food delivery company so having a great selection of meals is great. 2) Hard workers - there's a strong work ethic in the company that other folks can be motivated by 3) Young environment - average age is under 30 and everyone is pretty lively.

Cons

1) Young environment - since folks are young it shows in their experience. Most folks don't have the professionalism. 2) Knee-jerk management - there's a culture of punishment instead of coaching when it comes to growing a worker. 3) Non-transparency - the company claims transparency, but communication is often dropped leaving teams to scramble around to find the answers. 4) Long hours - it's a startup. There's bound to be long hours.

Pros

Tons of opportunities, highly motivated/sharp colleagues, things are built fast

Cons

Has become increasingly political and the low emphasis on craft/quality over velocity (despite what leadership preaches) is really starting to create a huge tech deficit. Separately the planning periods can be quite overkill, especially considering how often priorities and resources shift.
