Pros

- Smart and affable clients. - Company takes diversity seriously (though other reviewers disagree). - Offices and food were nice. - Senior management was engaged.

Cons

-Legal department is cliquey internally, and also isolated from the rest of the company. Advancement is unclear, and teams are middle-heavy. -Little to no process, RACI basically ad hoc. Given the risks built into product/business model, without clear RACI (or at least without clear adoption thereof) too much devolves into CYA. - That CYA is tedious and critical, as other teams will scapegoat when their projects aren't going smoothly. - The deadline is always yesterday, the new initiative you're being asked to consult on will start on "oh we actually kind of already started," and is being lead by someone probably.

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.

Pros

You can make over $100 per day most of the time and you meet some nice people for the most part.

Cons

They stop paying you what you earn out of nowhere, then play dumb about it. All reps are Indian and very dismissive. The in app gps glitches constantly and sends you everywhere via the interstate, which forces you to spend more on gas. Riders make things up to get a free ride, which leads to the driver getting deactivated.
