Pros

-Amazing place to work, where you feel like your work actually makes a direct impact in the performance of the company -High Internal Mobility: Fantastic mentorship and management, where people who demonstrate continued excellence are able to advance into other new and interesting opportunities within the company -Working with some of the smartest people I have ever met -Infectious enthusiasm amongst employees: within your first week of being here, you cant help but drink the kool-aid and become extremely excited about whats being built here. Culturally, everyone brings a lot of passion and intensity, and that type of enthusiasm is contagious

Cons

-If you are looking for a 9-5, then this is not the company for you. have to be willing to work long hours and rapidly produce results

Pros

This is an incredibly mission oriented fast placed environment. Everyone is so willing to help and no one shies away from hard problems. When fires come up (and it is a small startup so we have fires) everyone jumps on and solves the problems. Everyone feels a real passion for the mission and there is a true belief that we have an opportunity to build a better global transportation system.

Cons

It's a young company and a lot of the communication and process could be streamlined. It takes a lot of work to get up to speed and understand what is going on. There are a ton of things to work on and it can be hard to prioritize the most urgent work from good long term investments.

Pros

- Genuinely fun people to work with - Products consumer facing, so easy to see real world impact - Great pay/benefits (401k match, good healthcare, Unlimited PTO) - Hybrid work culture

Cons

Cons - Severe drop in engineering culture - In the chase to standardize engineer performance, numerous cracks have shown in the product itself - WLB used to be manageable, but with recent changes, WLB requires more work just to hit certain performance metrics (meaningless performance metrics) - No more innovation, just rinse and repeat the same product with barely any updates. Or look at competitors and copy exactly what they're doing. - Lack of answers regarding future of the company in regards to
