Pros

-- Racially diverse -- Will sponsor/employ non-citizens for U.S. residency -- Some roles allow work-from-home -- Unlimited PTO after 6 months -- Unlimited ride credit (irrelevant if the City of Chicago doesn't renew contract) -- A few very intelligent and hardworking coworkers

Cons

-- Lack of transparency from executive leadership -- Financially bootstrapped by Co-founder's Dad (you could argue this is a "pro" but I wouldn't) -- Lost 10+ employees in <4 months because of poor company culture -- Executive team is very young with <5 years of professional experience -- They don't make good on many promises in partnership contracts, opening the company up to potential litigation -- People Ops leadership has a demonstrated history of manipulation and deceit -- 1099/Contractor agreements for people who are treated as employees -- No HR management to handle misconduct -- They only contribute the (legally mandated) minimum to health insurance costs

We are very disappointed and saddened to read the comments about your VeoRide employment experience and the opinions you have about our company and our leadership team. At VeoRide, we pride ourselves on the diversity of our team and the unique contributions that each and every team member brings. As a technology leader in the micromobility space, we are in a rapid growth phase in a highly competitive industry. We understand that our growth trajectory and the performance expectations that come along with that may not be a match for everyone. Still, we have an open door policy for all of our employees to engage with any member of our leadership team to discuss any issue they may have—we afford every departing employee the opportunity of an exit interview with one of our co-founders or Head of People Operations. Unfortunately this did not meet your expectations. We hope we can address the opinions stated above and correct the misinformation shared. You can reach out to us directly at careers@veoride.com and we can set up a time to chat further. Regardless, we thank you for your contributions to our company and wish you nothing but continued professional success.

Pros

The team is collaborative, supportive, and full of people who are passionate about what they do. There are opportunities to learn, take ownership of projects, and work in a fast-paced environment where your contributions can make a real difference. Leadership encourages innovation, and no two days are exactly the same.

Cons

As with many fast-growing companies, priorities can shift quickly, so adaptability is important. The pace can sometimes make it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and there can be an expectation—whether explicit or self-imposed: to stay connected after normal working hours. Encouraging employees to fully disconnect at the end of the workday and reinforcing healthy boundaries would help support long-term well-being and prevent burnout.
