Rover.com reviews

The work: we use Periscope data a lot, and there's no autosave feature in their query editors, so all your work is lost if you accidentally refresh the page or hit backspace when you aren't in a text window or if periscope just feels like it needs a refresh and initiates one (this often happens when commuting; it's probably triggered by losing your wifi connection). The stocked stuff: The coffee isn't great, and they've just replaced all the Pilot G2s with Pentel Wows ("the cheapest pens that get the job done", as I was told) which I cannot stand to use. The space: the open-plan office is very distracting, but I guess open plans are kind of the norm, so that's not a Rover-specific gripe. What *is* specific to Rover are the goddamn dog gates everywhere. I also wish our office had better art, better windows, and better stair access---you have to go around to the loading dock at the back of the building if you want to come up by the stairs, so most days I just take the elevator and I've gained five pounds since starting here. HOWEVER, we've got a move to a new building coming up, so maybe some of these gripes will be addressed! If these all sound kind of minor, they are: overall Rover is great.

--Communication between teams isn't scaling with the company. --Health insurance is better than it used to be, but PTO isn't great and we don't have separate sick leave. --The office itself is a little drab and depressing, especially the conference rooms. The nation's largest network of pet sitters and dog walkers could use a facelift. --If you change teams, don't expect to get equal pay with others on your new team. This is for companies everywhere, but more transparency about pay will help promote equality between team members.
