Pros

With its ridesharing platform, Zūm has disrupted student transportation, albeit in a good way. The company has accomplished a lot in such a short time. But there is still more that needs to be done. And I’m confident that we can do this because of the great interdepartmental collaboration that we have in place. With Management that is supportive of career development, employee morale is on an all-time high. Perks include equity as well as dental, medical, and vision benefits.

Cons

Things move fast and there are some things you cannot control, especially when it comes to outsourced services.
