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.
