Pros

I have been working at GrubHub for some time, and it was super awesome when I first started. The work was interesting, the technology was good, the pay and benefits were good, and most importantly, my co-workers were awesome.

Cons

For the past year or so, a lot of people who have worked here a long time have been jumping ship. For a bit, I kind of ignored it and assumed that most of them were hitting that 3-4 year mark and had an itch to do something more. Then, some more odd things started happening, such as all but a couple of people from recruiting being fired at the same time, just so we could hire someone from Orbitz and he could bring his team. Time went on, and more and all of a sudden, those that didn't decide to leave were now being forced out or outright fired, with no logical reasons why. New leadership seems to be targeting anyone who has worked there for multiple years and is now resorting to directly intimidating teams. The leadership beyond project and team leads here is horrible, and I would not recommend working here to anyone.

Advice to Management

Word is going to get around regarding how leadership is acting. I can't imagine anyone with talent wanting to work here after what I have seen.
