      Pros

      When I walk around the office, I often think to myself: "How lucky am I to be working at the most valuable and innovative startup in the world? I seriously can't believe I'm here." + everyone is incredibly kind, passionate, and hardworking; people are always willing to answer your questions / help you when you need it + you're working alongside the smartest engineers in the WORLD and solving the toughest problems + amazing perks/benefits (we also have tech talks, Wellness Week, special guest speakers) + spectacular management + the company makes sure that office politics/bureaucracy don't get in the way of innovation + performance review process is seamless and transparent + has employee resource groups (ERGs) that focus on diversity + you can take ownership of projects and propose your own (your ideas get heard) + projects are exciting and impactful + fun, fast-paced, high-energy culture

      Cons

      - projects are often underscoped - we're hiring/growing so fast that there are new faces in the office all the time (makes it hard to recognize people) - negative perception of Uber brand on the outside makes it hard to get recognition for all the good things Uber does as a company :(

      Pros

      If I didn't work here and I knew what kind of work was going on at Uber, I would be pretty sad. There is a ton of opportunity. There is a lot to learn. There is a lot to build. There is a lot to celebrate. I really can't think of another place I'd like to be.

      Cons

      As we grow at our crazy rate, we encounter problems. It is up to us to step up and fix those problems.
