Pros

Interesting problems to work on. Opportunity to be independent and work on impactful, cross functional projects

Cons

Engineering org fundamentally devoid of vision and there's a lack of high caliber leadership, starting at the top. Key functions like analytics are not held to high standards, and there is a lack of individual accountability to delivering impact. It's a frustrating environment if you are ambitious and want to make a difference. Culture of performance is lacking, and politics are valued above merit.

Pros

Flexible schedule and the ability to work when I need to. It can be useful as side income, especially if you need something that fits around school, job searching, or other responsibilities.

Cons

Pay can be inconsistent, and it often depends heavily on order availability, tips, distance, and customer demand. Some days are worth it, while other days do not feel worth the time, gas, or wear on the car.
