Pros

This is an incredibly mission oriented fast placed environment. Everyone is so willing to help and no one shies away from hard problems. When fires come up (and it is a small startup so we have fires) everyone jumps on and solves the problems. Everyone feels a real passion for the mission and there is a true belief that we have an opportunity to build a better global transportation system.

Cons

It's a young company and a lot of the communication and process could be streamlined. It takes a lot of work to get up to speed and understand what is going on. There are a ton of things to work on and it can be hard to prioritize the most urgent work from good long term investments.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
