Pros

Good culture internally, it seems they're genuinely dedicated to a good product and to each other.

Cons

Privately owned currently, so corporate decisions do leak in -- currently in full swing with an AI adoption, so while the average employee (especially engineering) is wary that their job security is in serious question esp. as the private company's sale date comes up, we all have to play along and pretend like AI is making us faster. Management is at least fairly receptive to feedback about frictions, and culture is shifting adoption to more of a "where does it actually help" question -- better, but interest from on-high is still more eager than not.

Pros

Working at Rover has made me more appreciative over time, not less. Leadership is thoughtful, capable, and accessible. My coworkers are smart, curious, and genuinely good people—I learn from them every day. The team takes Rover’s values seriously and puts people first. The product isn’t perfect, but there’s real momentum to improve, modernize, and deliver more value to customers. It’s refreshing to work somewhere that does good work with good people, without sacrificing work-life balance to get there. I’m grateful for the experience—and aware it’s set a high bar for whatever comes next.

Cons

No workplace is perfect, and Rover isn’t an exception—but the downsides aren’t significant enough to be dealbreakers, in my opinion, especially if you’re looking for a company operating at our current stage and level of maturity.
