Pros

Hypergrowth company with deeply rooted startup culture. Things are rolling fast. Both builders and hackers are valued here. Innovations and experimentations are greatly encouraged. Mistakes and failures are embraced as long as you learn from it. The leadership is strong. There are many interesting challenging technical problems to solve. How many companies out there are tackling all these areas including real time infrastructure, logistics, big data, machine learning geomatic engineering, mobile development?

Cons

Hours are long, but thankfully they make it fun.

Pros

Work alongside smart, motivated individuals in a hyper-growth company. Working in engineering is especially rewarding as the product has global impact across all of Uber's 200+ cities.

Cons

Hours can be long and only tolerable if you're passionate about what Uber is doing and the impact that your work can have.

Pros

The product is great and it's nice that the company is doing so well. Fun and interesting coworkers

Cons

Lots of pressure, long hours (face-time is emphasized), little mentoring, conflict between management and team members, very hierarchical structure. Significant growing pains with the hyper-growth. Seems to be lots of burnout and many people feel trapped into just staying for their stock options.
