      Pros

      Pre IPO company so monetary gains if they go public. Rest all is fake. Nobody truly cates about community or company believes.

      Cons

      Nobody is willing to help. You would have to push and ask number of times the senior devs/ engineers to help you if you are stuck. No mentorship to help you grow everybody is working to get personal gains and for IPO event. No attachment to company ethics or goals. All are selfish and dont help you grow but concentrate on personal gains cant trust anyone. Good people who were willing to help and mentor QAs and engineers were nit valued and left the company. Would never recommend anyone to join this startup.

      Pros

      - amazing, helpful and genuine coworkers (I actually like hanging out with them outside of a work context) - a mission I believe in- getting cars off the road, community - cool projects and collaborators - amazing compensation/benefits- free lunch/dinner/snacks, Lyft credits, awesome office, cute dogs everywhere -pre-IPO

      Cons

      The company is fairly young as a whole, but it's still easy to identify good role models. You just have to look around a bit.
