Pros

Good leadership Uber Credit

Cons

It is still filled with incompetent managers. The work-life balance is terrible and not a friendly place for employees with families and kids. They have a generous parental leave but most people do not take advantage of it because you are looked down upon. Also, when it comes to perf (performance review) you miss out on career progression if you go on parental leave. The company is not inclusive for working parents.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
