Pros

Decent pay. Ability to learn new technologies on company time. Quantity more important than quality. Lots of super-smart and industrious coworkers.

Cons

Quantity more important than quality - friends make jokes about the number of Uber app updates for bug fixes. Work environment. Travel arrangements-roommates? Nasty review system. Poor treatment of contract employees. Huge turnover.

Thanks for this feedback. If you're willing to share more with me about some of your comments -- particularly work environment and the review system -- I'd be willing to listen. We're growing fast and always looking to improve. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com

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
