Pros

1. Highly Talented Team - I have never worked in a more empowering environment with so many brilliant people. Uber hires highly talented individuals that are hard-working, creative, and smart. 2. Ownership and Autonomy - The amount of ownership at Uber is unprecedented. You're given ownership of high-impact tasks on day one, and the work is highly rewarding. 3. Incredible Company - There aren't many companies that are changing the world like Uber. The company's values are inspiring, and there's no doubt that Uber is a special place to be.

Cons

None. However, some might find the long hours an inhibitor to their work/life balance. I personally have no qualms with the long hours, especially with the fast-paced work and and the top-notch team.

Pros

Competitive salary and great benefits. Awesome work and the amount of autonomy offered by no other company. Just about everything you do is high impact. You really do make an impact every day.

Cons

Lots of ambiguity, little formal training, very long hours, though I've never had days go by quicker.

Pros

+ The people. Passionate, open-minded, ambitious, supportive. + Startup at it's finest. Over 1400 people, but feels like < 100. + Endless opportunities. Anyone, no matter the role, can build something great and get noticed. + Culture. Overall amazing place to work with very limited almost nonexistent micro managing. + "Get stuff done" attitude.

Cons

- Compensation (unless you're an engineer). 12hr+ work days, yet still a constant worry about paying those SF monthly bills. I've been here about a year now and have noticed most people seem to be working here to either a) satisfy their want to make a huge impact and escape corporate America, or b) to push through the low salary in order to get to the IPO. - Lack of leadership. Uber's a great company because we hire entrepreneurs. Put a bunch of all stars on one team, there will be conflict and egos. In my opinion, it's a blessing and a curse. You certainly want all stars because those people will do great things, but you also want really solid coaches to help you learn how to bring out your full potential and to teach you how to bring out the full potential of those around you.
