• They made efforts to have All Hands be relevant to most people.
• Lunches were pretty good.
Cons: • didn't compensate their early employees well
• didn't make a point to make up for the poor compensation over the years

The best choice I ever made!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
February 4, 2016
Pros: - Amazing, helpful, and genuine coworkers (I actually like hanging out with them outside of a work context).
- A mission I believe in: getting cars off the road, community.
- Cool projects and collaborators.
- Amazing compensation/benefits: free lunch/dinner/snacks, Lyft credits, an awesome office, and cute dogs everywhere.
- Pre-IPO.
Cons: The company is fairly young as a whole, but it's still easy to identify good role models. You just have to look around a bit.
