Pros

Cycling is cool. Mission is great.

Cons

Engineering culture here is terrible. No one builds anything with quality even the most simple things are hard. So many people including myself have tried to improve it. Product management hasn’t had a single idea that increased the subscriber count in the entire time I was there. Company is only profitable due to many layoffs and price increases. Since the business is stagnating and leadership has no idea how to grow it, they just focus on zero sum politics. I feel bad for the users.
