Pros

Electric scooters are fun! Some great people.

Cons

Few decent middle managers, not much follow up, abrupt uninformed decisions. Low energy, low commitment culture. Projects drift to a stop or drag on without clear goals. Can't figure out product/market fit, and scaling in spite of that. This leads to conflicting "scale quickly but not too much!" orders. Lots of turnover, many people seems to leave in 3-9 months, they disappear suddenly and then are talked down by senior management. Even longer tenured people abruptly get fired/fed up and are gone in the space of a couple days. I wish this was because of poor performance, if anything it tends to be good people that go. Have to remember what we aren't being straightforward about now.

Pros

Great bunch of people who are mission driven, and, well, just driven. Hard working friendly people out to save the world. Doesn't get better than this.

Cons

Supporting a large fleet of vehicles around the globe can be stressful. Not for the feint of heart. Your heart really as to be into saving the world and improving urban transportation, and it really helps if you love cruising around your city on brand new vehicle designs

Pros

Kind people who want to see the world become a better place. True teammates who want to help when you need it, a safe environment to fail/grow. Super healthy work/life balance: office is empty at 5:30. Free Scooting. Most people are absolutely brilliant and wonderful to work with.

Cons

HQ team works side-by-side with fleet mechanics and vehicle R&D which is cool but really noisy. As the team grows globally it can feel like herding cats sometimes. A lot of transparency (good) but not a ton of accountability (not good). Small player in a big space (not ideal for those looking for insane growth/valuations/unlimited budgets for tech teams). International offices and vendors can be tough to work with sometimes as a woman. Constantly fighting fires, work can feel a bit like fighting a Hydra.
