Pros

Opportunity to drive significant impact towards a clear and tangible mission. Local services and the gig economy are going to be a huge space in the years to come.

Transparency and accessibility of the leadership team. The CEO/VP of Product will regularly sit in on experiment reviews, product reviews, and sometimes even just routine team meetings.

Humble and compassionate coworkers. Our recruiting process does a rigorous job in screening for both technical and cultural fit.

Ambition and drive to do something that hasn’t been done. It’s been said multiple times, but we’re not trying to make micro adjustments to existing technological solutions. We’re trying to shoot the moon and build something radically different.

Cons

The codebase is nearing 10 years now, so we need to be more deliberate in how we trade off tech debt with product development.

Advice to Management

I appreciate how you make an effort to bring up and address the less palatable topics at Q&A.
