Pros

I absolutely love how we get catered lunch everyday, unlimited snacks and coffee, 401k plan, DashPass, and healthcare. The perks are definitely a bonus and everyone I've met is super friendly. They are really big on culture and diversity which I admire and my team has always supported me.

Cons

Unfortunately there isn't a company match for 401k, and they also raised the prices for healthcare this year. It's still very cheap but what's better than free? Also, it's hard to choose another career path if you wish to pursue it. Internally transferring is hard if you want to work in another department, but it could just be that they want more experienced people to apply during COVID.

Pros

If you are considering working with this platform, be aware that the management model is built on deliberate ambiguity. The app and software are designed to keep you in a constant state of uncertainty regarding your performance metrics. There is no transparency regarding how jobs are assigned or how your work is actually evaluated. This appears to be a calculated strategy to keep workers chasing 'better status' without ever providing a clear path to achieve it. You will never know if you are truly meeting expectations because the system is intentionally opaque. Approach with caution if you value transparency and clear communication.

Cons

The supposed 'flexibility' of this role is actually a double-edged sword. While the platform advertises freedom, it functions as a lack of structure and support. Because the performance metrics are intentionally opaque, the 'independence' of the job feels more like isolation. You are left guessing if your efforts are actually valued or just another input in an algorithm that doesn't prioritize worker success.
