Pros: - Able to choose what you work on and tailor projects to your interests. - Ability to make an impact: tons of features to be worked on, and you can really make a difference in the product and user experience. - Engineering-driven culture: while the company has an operational aspect to it, it really is a technology company that sees improving the product as the path to success. Engineers are first-class citizens, and employees are always thinking about how improvements to the product will make it easier for non-tech parts of the business to succeed. - Analytics-driven growth: the company is meticulous about metrics and analytics and is very transparent about current goals and progress, as well as where improvements can be made. - No project managers means that engineers get to talk to customers, merchants, and drivers to determine the scope of features and figure out what the company needs most. - Engineering culture is good despite the average age of the employees being relatively young. - Free meals at work.

Cons: - Benefits are good, but not great.

Pros: Great people, good leadership, and a market-leading product.

Cons: Lost a lot of the fun start-up culture after IPO; work-life balance can be bad.

Pros: There are some recent negative reviews here which I feel completely misrepresent the engineering org. Here's the truth: Is there tech debt? Yes, a medium amount. I've also been in this industry for 10 years and I've seen truly bad tech debt where you have giant codebases with absolutely zero tests or monitoring. That is not the case here by any means. Do not pay attention to people saying our code is "terrible" -- every codebase has terrible modules, but overall it's nothing out of the ordinary. Truly smart people work in the engineering org. Everyone on my team is great - seriously, not a single slacker or incompetent team member. Even outside of my team, I interviewed with the guy who built the first version of DynamoDB (he now works at DoorDash!). We're working on really interesting problems involving distributed systems, machine learning, NLP, etc. You will learn and grow as an engineer if you work here and put in the effort to get to know some of the team, period. Management is very respectful and has given me plenty of opportunities to work on high-profile projects, grow as an engineer, etc. I don't know why people complain about a lack of mentorship; I suspect those people just want someone to hold their hand and don't understand how to put in the work themselves. If you're a self-starter, you'll have no problem here. I mean that, it really couldn't be easier to grow and move up the ranks. The first meeting I ever had with my manager involved them sitting down with me, going in-depth regarding my career goals, explaining exactly how to "level up" and what is expected of each level, plus what I should work on personally to get to the goals I was interested in. I've never had a company be that upfront about my performance and really try to understand my career goals - and this happens on a regular basis. This is great.

Cons: Again, a medium amount of tech debt. We're currently dedicating serious resources to fixing debt and improving system stability, so I'm happy with the way the management team is taking this, but we still have a ways to go here. I'm confident we'll fix the most glaring issues given a bit more time. The CTO is pretty green all things considered. There's an active search for a VPE to fill in the gaps, and the pipeline is full of candidates, so I suspect this will improve very soon. If you're not used to working at a startup, you will struggle here. Everyone is juggling multiple responsibilities and moving quickly. We have competition, and we have to beat the competition to win the space. It's a good problem to have, but also leads to some stressful situations on occasion -- nothing out of the ordinary for a high-growth company, but something to keep in mind.
