Pros

- Friendly Co-workers who are very welcoming. - Some great benefits - Medical, DashPass, Unlimited PTO - Decent role progression with opportunities to learn new roles.

Cons

- Extremely stressful customer service. 2-3 live chats at a time covering complex issues with a 20 minute handle time expectation. - Core values such as "Be Direct" are one direction (downwards) and weaponized. IE: If you are late or miss an All Hands meeting, you're publicly shamed in Slack. - Having the best customer service in the world is contradicted by poor decisions made by upper leadership. IE: Passing off customers to email due to specific inquiries. CEO gate-keeps his shirts from customers who are interested in them? - Culture isn't shared with WFH employees as much - They got rid of the employee who was working on solutions for that. - They like to "part ways" with employees that challenge the status quo. - No HR structure. I never got my letter of separation or exit interview survey. I had to reach out to HR on my last day after giving 3 weeks notice. Still never received anything. - Lacking most diversity & inclusion - The bottom line matters more to leadership than your mental health. They often use the "We're a startup" excuse to warrant burnt out employees.

Pros

The people. Talented people doing their best in an unstable environment.

Cons

Over 220 employees were laid off, not because the company was collapsing or employees failed at their jobs, but because leadership made a deliberate financial decision that treated people as expendable once they had served their purpose. People who helped scale the platform, support customers, and build the company were discarded the moment it became more profitable or convenient to do so. What makes this worse is that this has happened before. Employees were reassured it would never happen again. We were told we were valued. Many of us believed it. I had just celebrated being one of the most consistently valued members of my team before suddenly finding myself among the 220+ without jobs. The messaging afterward felt carefully curated to justify the decision publicly while avoiding the reality employees experienced internally. From the inside, it did not feel strategic. It felt cold, calculated, and completely disconnected from the people affected. And make no mistake, “220 employees” is not just a number on a spreadsheet. That is 220 people with families, rent, mortgages, children, responsibilities, and lives built around the expectation that dedication and performance meant something. If you work here, understand the risk. Performance will not protect you. Loyalty will not protect you. Being told you are indispensable will not protect you.
