Pros

Good Pay and opportunity to work in an industry building for the future. Fast paced. Smart coworkers. Good ideas are valued.

Cons

Dealing with a lot of growing pains and don't have good centralized decision making or communication amongst teams. Lots of folks who were leading a small start up environment aren't necessarily suited to run large organization with lots of reports and moving pieces. Wouldn't recommend working remotely - especially if your primary stakeholders, partners, and decision makers are in SF. It's a communication challenge that I think is too hard to bridge unless you're really willing to put in much more time and attentiveness.

Pros

Meaningful projects. Good science community environment. Good work life balance.

Cons

Company's primary focus is still on ride-sharing business so stock price does not go up.

Sometimes there are unexpected slow times you count on and don't make your goal. Also have to get used to GPS and be proactive with directions
