Pros

Once in a while you'll drive a nice car and some of the people are really nice

Cons

Management doesn't care. You're washing cars by hand with buckets of water and sponges, in the rain, in the dark. Once you've delivered a car to a customer's house you can be left waiting for a long time while one of the other drivers goes and does his shopping before picking you up to take you back to the office. It sucks.

A high investment in learning opportunities and engagement with customers.

Suffers from downsides of all other rental companies. Overbooking, understaffing.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
