Comp can be nice, depending on the stock price. Pay increases are not great
Overtime expectations, terrible management. The culture encourages engineers to chase metrics rather than do actual work.

So on a $65 order, the restaurant itself won't even get half of the money as revenue. On top of this we'r...Read more

Senior advisor to the European Commission has made a non binding suggestion to regulate Uber as a taxi service and not a technology platform.

I have an idea I’ve been thinking out but I need to know a few things. If you know driver data, you effectively know Lyft and Uber’s earnings report. This should also apply to Postmates and DoorDash.
