Not toxic, just incompetent

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work life balance isn't bad, although it has gotten worse recently. There is good engineering talent here to work with despite a poor engineering culture.

Cons

It's a culture of visibility more than a culture of achievement. The pay structure is also really bad now after the acquisition, which I would imagine is intentional. So as people's initial grants run out they leave.

Rover is a gem of a place to work

Business Outlook

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.
