Pros

The Unlimited PTOs, Amazing Office , Free lunch everyday

Cons

This place is a modern day Slave ship. They have you work you ridiculously long hours, they preach "work life balance" but doesn't care what happens to you unless the work gets done. They are dishonest in the direction of where they're growing. Especially on the accounting & Finance team. Poor leadership from Lisa (CAO) & Brian (CFO). STAY AWAY!!! They continue to shorten the accounting close without adding resources. The entire accounting team in NY left & A huge Portion of the SF Accounting and Finance team. They talk a good game but STAY AWAY.

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.
