This company is the definition of a toxic work environment

Pros

nice kitchen? (I had to write something)

Cons

While I have worked for numerous start ups, most of them get their act together within a couple of years. Not GRUBBRR. GRUBBRR's entire business model relies on cheap labor. Offshore development and QA, inexperienced interns managing products and projects. The quality of their product reflects this lack of investment. Their "legacy" product is completely unstable, and filled with features that don't actually work. It was so bad, that the executives decided to scrap the whole thing and start over. Rather than actually learning from previous mistakes, much of the dysfunctional code base was copied and pasted, bringing the bad code and bugs with it. So now there are 2 unstable platforms to maintain. Everyone constantly operates in panic mode, since everything is constantly failing. As the software fails, the blame game begins. The CTO is frequently heard screaming in his office. Scapegoats are often singled out, and publicly lambasted. Without warning, employees are let go (no notice, no severance, no cashing in on unused PTO, just escorted to the door) There is zero scalability. There is no way to deploy, update, or maintain the kiosks already in production, yet they have pipe dreams of selling and deploying thousands more.

Pros

A cool idea with wonderful lower-level staff that's been completely driven to the ground with appalling executive team management.

Cons

This company is on its last legs currently running like an abandoned ship sinking to the bottom of the ocean. This comes as a surprise to nobody who has worked there that's reading this, because the leaders at the company told their employees for months that "if you don't like how we do things, you can leave", and now to the surprise of no one, nearly everyone's either quit, been laid off, or is working there with absolutely no passion for the product to be successful and is spending the majority of their time making an exit plan. And all of it makes perfect sense, because if you've been there for any period of time longer than a couple weeks, you'll quickly realize GRUBBRR is (& has been) in complete disarray, burning money and been in a financial free-fall from the moment the previous CFO saw the storm last year and got out. From that moment, every single poor review that has come out is not just one disgruntled employee complaining-- they're all completely accurate anecdotes that I wish I could say weren't the reality. But don't take my word for it, just do this-- if you're considering working at GRUBBRR and you want to know about how it is, find someone who used to work there (there's a lot of us) and ask them about their experience, because I'm sure any of us would be willing to give you the horror stories of what has taken place on the inside not hiding behind anonymity on Glassdoor. When they gave the company an employee satisfactory survey a few months ago, on a scale of 0-100 the company score was a -49, and what's crazy is it's probably only gotten worse since then, and there is still no enterprise-level product complete, so they have barely any money coming in at-all. But whether there's even a bigger product does not matter if no one in the company wants to see it succeed, and they are lucky if they can still count on two hands all of the people on the inside not actively hoping it fails. This company is just a completely catastrophe, with the ugliest fall from grace I have ever seen in all my years working in tech, and if it succeeds, it's because the idea is so needed that it could not fail. But if it fails, it will fall on top of the lap of about 8 or 9 C-level executives that I wouldn't let manage an Arby's let alone the kiosk that'll never end up inside of one.

Best place to work if you do not care about your mental health

Pros

It makes a good pedestal for interns and recent graduates—excellent and friendly employees.

Cons

They treat their present employees poorly and overpay new hires who accomplish nothing. They don't care about the employees and overwork and underpay everyone because they are only interested in raising money. This company has no culture, and any unused paid time off is not reimbursed. The CTO is very unprofessional and often shouts. When you do what he expected a week ago, he will yell at you because he doesn't recall what he said to you. Work here if you want to visit a therapist because everyone is miserable there!
