Your experience depends entirely on your team

Pros

Great company mission, not Uber

Cons

Your entire experience depends on your team. When a manager or team member leaves, it's absolute chaos. I watched many great teams go from phenomenal to non-existent in 3 years. Higher ups love bringing in old Israelis. Constantly playing catch-up to Uber instead of having their own vision. No great perks compared to other companies. Salary laughable.

Pros

-People are incredibly smart and helpful -They hire all-star management with proven track records. The learning is fantastic. -Our initiatives make me proud - easy to brag about this company -People walk their talk -Benefits and events are great -Culture is amazing

Cons

-Grateful for the variety of IT resources but it's confusing about where to go for what and everyone uses a different medium, so you have to figure out individual preferences. There's also a lack of training on how to use these IT resources. -Because the company is moving so fast, there are a lot of processes and structures not in place, so things are messy. -Commission plans are a long stretch - rely on your salary, not commission. They change every quarter. -Communication and transparency is not that great, especially around change and restructure. There is a disconnect between offices and between departments.
