Pros

Get to work on state-of-the-art ML that has a real-world impact.

Company is scaling across cities, demonstrating great safety performance.

Cons

Lots of work needed in evenings and during weekends.

Hiring, but people leave at roughly the same rate as they are hired, meaning the workload is still too much.

Illiquid stock.

Advice to Management

Burnout is going to boil over soon.
