Pros

Great team - smart, nice people. Work is fun and every day is different. They try to have a good company culture.

Cons

Local teams don't have as much connection to SF the company did have it's growing pains. We switched to opposite strategies pretty frequently which makes it difficult to do a good job.

Pros

I had a great ops manager who did everything he/she could to make sure my needs were met

Cons

ops mgr was great, shoppers were great, but there was an interesting dynamic re: how much respect shoppers deserved from corporate, which is ironic considering shoppers are half the service.

Pros

There are so many data science problems here and we are just getting started. I've worked on everything from logistics to growth to shopper systems. We're addressing a six hundred billion dollar market and doing it much better than Google and Amazon. Coworkers are all smart and friendly; it's a very relaxed culture but with high standards around quality and urgency. High quality data that I almost never have to "clean". Work hours are flexible and I think the work/life balance is good by startup standards (though don't expect a 9-5).

Cons

I often work on nights and weekends, but there's a lot of flexibility around when to arrive or leave so my overall hours are pretty reasonable compared to any other professional- also I like the work so I don't mind doing a lot of it. We don't have the name-recognition of Uber or Airbnb yet. I'm getting fat on all the free food ;)
