Pros

Very good employees, built very cool stuff for the relatively small team that was there

Cons

- Competitive industry that has no clear sight on real profitability. And no, (adjusted) EBITDA a proxy for actual profitability in such a capital intensive business. This is not really a Dott problem. - Due to crowded industry space, unfortunately a lot of emphasis has to be placed on pleasing governments with gimmicks such computer vision to prevent unsocial behaviour on shared vehicles. While in reality all players in the industry know this is not going to scale. - Fake values such as "we care for each other", while in reality mass layoffs appear to be a recurring theme. - The leadership, and in particular the CEO, is good in telling stories how great everything is, only to find out the next week they were actually already planning a next layoff.

Pros

- Exciting industry - can change the world. - Some good people within the business - At a great stage of growth and stimulating, heavily funded so a lot can be done.

Cons

- As seen in majority of other reviews, leadership are very poor and this had led to a culture of rudeness, overworking, mini empires. - The company need to get serious about having impact and helping, a marketing trick tbh. The company is built to serve the investors, employees are meant to be looked after overcrowded market with zero USP so it's grow at all costs. - Too much attrition, people out of the business with no sign of why. No exit interviews etc, worst part of the business is HR and the leader who got demoted because of how poorly it was run says it all.
