Pros

- has a good branding and some great people - solid tech stack - decent pay - good place to learn for less experienced engineers.

Cons

- Many experienced engineers are leaving and being replaced by junior engineers or interns. - Not recommended for experienced engineers seeking growth, as career progression is intentionally very difficult. Individual performance alone is not enough, and you’re expected to commit significant extra hours to build influence beyond your core responsibilities. - Several days, I arrive home mentally exhausted, as I’m expected to frequently context switch and handle multiple requests/tasks simultaneously, while still hearing complaints from my manager that things are taking too long. - Company is shrinking, closing operations in several cities and shutting down offices. - There is a lot of unnecessary pressure, with managers micromanaging day-to-day work. Some rarely give recognition when you’re doing a great job but are quick to criticize when someone underperforms, sometimes doing so in front of the whole team. - In less than a year, my team has changed almost completely: some people were fired, some moved to other teams, and others left the company. - Lot of people is looking elsewhere. - Company is investing in improving its reputation, as it has become very difficult to attract good candidates willing to work here.

Pros

Working as a Glovo delivery driver has both good and bad sides. The flexible schedule is one of the best things, because you can choose when to work and earn extra money. The app is usually easy to use, and in busy hours it is possible to make decent earnings.

Cons

On the negative side, income is not always stable and depends a lot on demand, weather, and tips. Sometimes the distances are long and the pay does not fully match the effort, especially with fuel or bike maintenance costs. Customer support can also be slow when there is a problem with an order.
