Pros

I've greatly enjoyed my time so far at Favor. The people and culture are genuinely great and do not come across as contrived. We're growing fast so it's a good mix of mature startup and SMB. The engineers as well as designers, product, and other technical people are all top notch. There's also a strong culture of encouraging personal growth and even lateral job movement. Despite the growth, the company is still very flat and there's little to no red tape. I greatly enjoy coming in to work every day due to my coworkers, leadership, and the projects I'm working on. Also, free food and Favors! Leadership does a good job of making sure everyone understands what we're doing as a company and why. Lots of planned social events. Cool big company perks like HEB partner benefits. Compensation is more than fair. Probably my favorite job I've ever had. If you're deciding to interview or accept an offer here, I'd note that a lot of the more mixed reviews on Glassdoor are coming from contract runners (a la Uber drivers) who have a different view than a full-time employee.

Cons

Post-acquisition so there's no equity if you come on-board now. 401K match could be better, but there's a long vesting HEB stock bonus that makes up for it if you plan on being at Favor for the long haul. Typical growing pains in terms of cramped office space, but we're moving this year. If you're a ladder climber, we're still too small to really have a ladder to climb. Great product and engineering, but we're not really saving lives or changing the world if that matters to you. No tuition reimbursement (rumored to be coming) and no other fringe benefits like donation matching or formal education budget.

Pros

None whatsoever I’m not even joking. Oh sorry they will currently give you $20 for completing 80 deliveries which will probably account for 800 miles of driving

Cons

This platform is bad, if you’re not selective they will require you to shop for 50+ items then drive 11 plus miles for only $18. There is definitely a lot better platform and apps that pay better. Be careful only about 5-7% of the offers sent on favor platform are good which is why I have an acceptance rate of only 13%.
