Pros

- chill working hours - generous salary, top 10% for data scientist - decisions in industry - chill coworkers, everyone prioritizes life over work (as they should)

Cons

- can be chaotic work structure - base salary only grew ~2-3% this year - thank goodness they're generous with equity - covid kind of messed things up for a while

Pros

Meaningful projects. Good science community environment. Good work life balance.

Cons

Company's primary focus is still on ride-sharing business so stock price does not go up.

Pros

You can make over $100 per day most of the time and you meet some nice people for the most part.

Cons

They stop paying you what you earn out of nowhere, then play dumb about it. All reps are Indian and very dismissive. The in app gps glitches constantly and sends you everywhere via the interstate, which forces you to spend more on gas. Riders make things up to get a free ride, which leads to the driver getting deactivated.
