Pros

Uber is a technology-first company. Despite its number of users growing exponentially month over month, the mobile product remains highly scalable and stable, unlike any other fast growing company that I have worked for. Product teams, engineers, and designers collectively decide which features are the most important for upcoming sprints and, so during development, all hands are on deck and everyone involved is excited to build the feature.

Cons

There are times where you'll be given hard deadlines, simply due to regulatory demands and business contracts with partners. This can make some weeks more stressful than others.

Pros

Fast-paced, innovative and energetic culture.

Cons

Young company, growing so quickly it can't help but stumble here and there. Imagine hiring the smartest, most driven individuals in the company, spreading them out all over the world and saying "go". That's what the culture is like. It's fast-paced like a startup. It is literally changing the cities that we operate in. But the average age is probaby about 28 years old at this point...so it sometimes feels like Uber Senior High School with some of the politics and bent towards self-promotion.

Pros

Amazingly flat feeling to the hierarchical structure where every employees opinion is valued and voice can be heard. There is a great sense of transparency coming from the top down. The sense of mission and desire to create a high value product, both for our riders and our partners is tangible everyday and the commitment is shown in the quality of people that are hired each and every day. Benefits are particularly good and the office culture is second to none.

Cons

Long hours, but the reality is everyone here works long and hard because they want to and there is a real purpose to the job. If working long hours towards a mission isn't appealing, this is not the job for you.
