Pros

Ok pay, an opportunity to learn the start-up world, free snacks, great resume building opportunity, great for networking, and free unlimited rides every day!!!!!

Cons

I watched over 7 people get fired in less than a year. Hostile work environment. All employees are expected to work unrealistic hours and be on call 24/7. Lots of speaking in Russian and yelling. There are some questionable business ethics and unknown sources of investors from Russia. The interaction between teams is forced and hostile. Fasten does not have a great backoffice system and employees have to keep up with driver and rider details by hand.

Pros

Fantastic coworkers who are hardworking and caring. An endless amount of long- and short-term challenges keeps things very engaging. I feel like I am heard, respected, and appreciated by the rest of the company including those above me. It's a perfect job for independent yet collaborative individuals who are especially motivated by adversity. While there's plenty room for improvement on behalf of the company, I feel lucky to get to come to this job each day. Salary and benefits are great.

Cons

Communication between departments was rather disjunct when I first started, although I've noticed improvements on that front. Other than that, there are cons to most every job. This is why employees are paid, and I feel like I am adequately compensated for whatever "cons" come along with the job.
