Pros

I've been at Uber just over three months now, working at the Seattle engineering office. I worked in a very different field before this, so I worried that I'd be behind the curve from day one. Which I was. But working at Uber, I've found that asking questions, challenging assumptions, and being proactive are highly encouraged. I've loved working here - everyday I get to work on incredibly wicked and yet extremely interesting problems.

Cons

The growth of the company has left some of the data infrastructure struggling to keep up. Our queries can be slow to run sometimes, and sometimes things just fail under the load. But these issues are minor compared to what I love about working here.

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
