I've been asked to come onsite at Bird in Santa Monica. Anyone has any insight on how it is to work there in Engineering in terms of culture, comp, quality of engineers etc? Is it worth going down there for the onsite?
Dude it’s a scooter cashgrab company that already exited
Rode an Uber scooter the other day, the quality on that compared to Bird was like night and day
God I hate these scooters.

Terrible business model
Nah
Culture here sucks. If you care about quality and skill don't come to Bird.
it’s awesome here
We are a typical startup. Lots of variance in quality of engineers and product process. While there are some very talented people at Bird, I’d agree that *on average* we simply can’t compete with FAANG.

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’
Shitshow.
How so?
