Pros

There are still some parts of the culture that haven't been stripped by the C-suite yet. Great tech.

Cons

"We need our engineers to be closer to our drivers, so we're going to stop hiring in the only country our drivers live in and farm out the work to Eastern Europe."

Pros

Meaningful projects. Good science community environment. Good work life balance.

Cons

Company's primary focus is still on ride-sharing business so stock price does not go up.

Pros

You can make over $100 per day most of the time and you meet some nice people for the most part.

Cons

They stop paying you what you earn out of nowhere, then play dumb about it. All reps are Indian and very dismissive. The in app gps glitches constantly and sends you everywhere via the interstate, which forces you to spend more on gas. Riders make things up to get a free ride, which leads to the driver getting deactivated.
