Pros

I came to Uber with 6yrs of sellside equities experience, and I was very apprehensive at first. But my apprehensions were misplaced for the following reasons: 1. Super flexibility...everyone is allowed to work at the pace, style, method they chose to. Your deliverable is water-tight...but how you get there is your call. 2. Data-intense .... all decisions, meetings etc are backed by data, which means that no one uses their seniority to bulldoze their ideas through. Also meetings are super-productive, I dont think in 3months I have done any pointless or inconsequential discussions 3. very aggressive, fast growing and fast moving place.....which means there is no room for pointless hierarchy...if you have a great idea, go ahead discuss , execute and own it.

Cons

1. if you are used to a very structured and predictable workplace, then this may not be for you 2. you have to be a total self-starter and self-completer too (everyone is as overworked as you!)

Flexibility, data-driven decision making, and the fast-pace: three traits that make Uber a special place to work. Thanks for calling these out and leaving this review! Keep up the great work in Mumbai.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
