Worst company to join

Pros

The reason I was attracted was its startup market. Each region has relative autonomy, so there's a good degree of breathing space. I also liked the company's overall vision.

Cons

They treat their employees like they treat their drivers: subservient. I've never interviewed somewhere where I actually felt like the interviewers were against me. I should have taken that as a red flag, but I joined anyways and quit a month later.

Pros

Casual workplace, paid healthcare, Uber credit and other perks. Most importantly, it's a great product.

Cons

Terrible managers and bad office politics. Managers receive little to no training and it shows in their inability to handle leading teams. It's somewhat reminiscent of middle school - lots of backbiting and gossip, bordering on sabotage. Very unprofessional environment, bordering on toxic.

Pros

- uber credits!! (ubering everyday to and from work very convenient) - working for a reputable company

Cons

though working for a 'reputable' company sounds great, too many cons which have unfortunately made me quickly feel very differently of the organization. - emphasis on "hustle" and "drive" -- yet don't see it performed - I'm sorry but either no lunch break or a rushed 20-30 minute lunch break in what can become a 12 hour day is totally unacceptable and most importantly against the law (surprisingly, everyone just accepted this and put up with it). - daily abuse from drivers can seriously be demotivating and drive your moral to the ground. it's difficult facing drivers everyday when you yourself can't do anything to assist them - continuous changing of procedures, when one thing is already explained to us so badly and a new concept is introduced it just snowballs into a big mess - marketing techniques felt downright unethical and wrong. - no camaraderie amongst the staff, very clicky as if I was in high-school again. too many young people with little experience in a real work atmosphere. - for a tech company, basic things always causing daily issues, simple things like having no wifi, system down..etc.
