Pros

Really cool projects you can do. You own the business you are doing. Surrounded by super smart and talented colleagues. Very open in terms of communication, no need to spend a lot of time writing an email, so that it does not "hurt" anyone, just make your point directly.

Cons

Heavy workload, don't expect work-life balance. If you don't like ambiguity, this is not the right place for you.

Pros

You get a prime seat to watch the evolution of the transportation industry. Good exposure to operations, marketing, and political strategy in a rapidly growing business. You will learn a lot and it's nice to have your company constantly in the news and being brought up in conversation.

Cons

Work life balance is horrendous. You will eat every meal at your desk. Despite claims of "no face time" there is absolutely the expectation that you need to be seen at your desk well into the evening. You will be online and constantly available on weekends. Once you learn the basics of the job there is little change in the day to day. They sell it as a chance to implement innovative solutions, but everything interesting is done at HQ by the strategy and product teams. If you work in a city you just get to implement the vision of management without any real freedom to do anything creative. Questionable ethics and the company continues to treat it's drivers extremely poorly preferring. If you have a strong moral conscience you may find yourself staring at the ceiling every night instead of falling asleep after a long day at the office.

Pros

As a full time employee, the perks are great; competitive wage, monthly stipend, lots of drinking. It is a very fun and party-oriented culture.

Cons

In the operations side, there is a kool-aid like culture. Everyone thinks as a collective and rejects any outside thoughts without consideration. Fortunately, engineering is not like that but engineers don't make all the business decisions.
