Pros

- Dog benefits like a bonus toward getting your first dog, really dog friendly office, dog vacation to match your vacation time. - Healthcare, retirement, vision, and dental benefits too. - Everyone in the company is passionate about what they do. - Seriously overhauling what the other review cited, where ideas are brainstormed and then nothing happens. You can propose a project and end up implementing it within the next week or two. - Heavily metrics driven. Embrace successful tactics, improve or discard unsuccessful ones. - Every employee knows how the company is doing. - Upper management is invested in how everyone else at the company is doing. - Seeing amazing growth in investment, users, and income - Looking to increase the size of the development team so they can implement changes even faster. Heavy investment in the site. Did I mention puppies?

Cons

- Startup atmosphere can mean you over-invest your time. It's very easy to decide to work from home during the evening, even if it's just checking emails. This is not encouraged by anybody, but does seem to be widely embraced. - Navigating the growth from startup to more corporate structure in terms of project implementation, budgeting, etc. The culture is still casual and fun, they are just growing into having more set processes. If handled well, it will be fine.

Pros

Working at Rover has made me more appreciative over time, not less. Leadership is thoughtful, capable, and accessible. My coworkers are smart, curious, and genuinely good people—I learn from them every day. The team takes Rover’s values seriously and puts people first. The product isn’t perfect, but there’s real momentum to improve, modernize, and deliver more value to customers. It’s refreshing to work somewhere that does good work with good people, without sacrificing work-life balance to get there. I’m grateful for the experience—and aware it’s set a high bar for whatever comes next.

Cons

No workplace is perfect, and Rover isn’t an exception—but the downsides aren’t significant enough to be dealbreakers, in my opinion, especially if you’re looking for a company operating at our current stage and level of maturity.
