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

- Extremely fast paced and exciting environment. - The people are hands-down amazing, super intelligent, creative, and diverse. - The culture is extremely special (representative of the people who work here). - Constantly changing the world with limitless future potential.

Cons

- Hours are very long and difficult, but the challenge is greatly appreciated by highly-driven and motivated individuals. Having come from other start-ups that were moving a break-neck speed (relatively speaking), the speed at Uber blows them all away.

Pros

People are smart and action-oriented; the company is in a period of hypergrowth and we're all trying to make things happen. The atmosphere is inclusive-- everyone is opinionated, but willing to listen to your thoughts-- "strong opinions, loosely held." Only been here two months; it's been a bit stressful, but overall more fun than stressful, and definitely a great learning experience. I would definitely recommend working here to all my friends.

Cons

Not a small company-- my last job was < 50 people, so it feels really big sometimes.
