If you want a career in the fast-paced world of crowd sourced taxi dispatching, this is a great start. Go for it!

P2 once any other company comes out with self driving cars - and it's no gaurantee that Uber will be first - then they're screwed. And LOL are you seriously doubting that the culture is not a huge PR nightmare for them? Only worse ones may be Cambridge Analytica and the Trump administration.

Male here, but taking the points about culture seriously regardless. Was thinking about skill development, career growth and general upside as they're offering equity

Ipo in 2019. Worth considering if the environment is changing?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
