Maturing company, but moves fast
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
July 21, 2021
Pros: Lots of smart people.
Moves fast for a large company.
Emphasis on career growth and individual preference for work.
Cons: On-prem servers and internally built tools sometimes slow and limit development. There's a lot of focus on improving margins incrementally on rides/eats rather than big step changes, but this could be a sign of a maturing industry.
