I highly doubt they cut it...UberEats makes a lot of sense for drivers to help smooth out the lulls in between passengers and is a convenient secondary service to Uber customers already used to the user experience. From what I've read,

Fun fact we took over the lease at 425 right after y'all. That picture on the blog with the couches does not do justice to how packed the office was when we did our site tours!

The old cliche to work your way out of a job really resonated with me when I made this transition. It is natural to want to take on a task for yourself and to think you're doing your team a favor by shielding them from details you have

One thing I think most startups can do well to remember is that engineers are not the only hires a company needs to make and that modern tech companies very rarely fail due to technology factors. I'm curious why there isn't a grea

This may well get buried, but I think it's worth pointing out that all the big employers consistently mentioned in this thread once started out as, well, startups. Yes, getting there is a near improbability, and most companies never ge
