Pros

- Easy mission to get behind - Lots of motivated people working at Getaround - Great office space - Interesting projects and initiatives on the go

Cons

- Negative workplace culture, there's lots of employee gossip and infighting - Founders have unrealistic expectations about how many hours people should work and care more about the numbers than the people working for them - Zero insight into management decisions - Founders seem a little too comfortable lying or manipulating the truth - Mismanaged finances led to several rough bumps - Way below market rate salaries and lots of disparities between what people on the same team might be paid - While I was there, several team members were all leaving or considering leaving at the same time, it's hard to stay committed when so many people are jumping ship at once - Managers refuse to cede control over certain things, which results in an obscene amount of inefficiency throughout the company
