Pros

Being part of a high-growth company where you get to collaborate with smart and talented people on unique challenges based on your market, city, and particular side of the business has been one of the most rewarding experiences Lots of opportunity to be innovative, and often pushed by direct managers to be entrepreneurial Transparency within the company is extremely valued and often practiced. Weekly staff meetings keep everyone on the same page and help to enhance the company's culture

Cons

Long hours sometimes make it difficult to find a work-life balance, but this is pretty standard for the company with as much to accomplish as we do each day The landscape is constantly changing as the company grows, so if you are not someone who can adapt quickly to new environments, quickly expanding offices and teams, or even day-to-day problems that arise, this may not be the job for you

Pros

It's cliched in today's post Silicon Valley tech world, but Uber is quite literally changing the world. There's something incredibly humbling and empowering knowing we're creating a product that is used around the world to improve lives. You might think I'm talking about the rider experience, but Uber is even more impactful on the lives of drivers who Uber helps enable them to make more money (whether supplemental or as an alternative to a lesser pay gig) and provides an opportunity to have more control over their lives than ever before. Unlimited vacation is cool, but we have a culture that you actually want to be a part of every day. There are so many exciting things happening at Uber that whatever else going on in your life doesn't seem as important. Crazy but true! Uber's gotten a hard time in the press about our culture. I'd say that anything relating to misogyny or biased treatment towards candidates or employees is more of a symptom of a problem within society than Uber's culture. We hire the best candidates period. We all want to work with smart people that will help move the company forward. It's unfortunate that this means playing into all of the typical trouble tech companies get into with hiring predominantly white males. That said, I look around me on any given day and see a big variety of ages, genders and races. We've also been criticized for our aggressive culture. We want to win in an extremely competitive space. Our company turns whole industries into our enemies. How can we be blamed that we have a thick skin that thinks of every way to defend ourselves and succeed? If you don't believe my words and are think Uber is interesting, you owe it to yourself to connect with someone at Uber and come in to see it for yourself.

Cons

A lot is demanded of employees, but that can be a pro or con depending on your perspective. Some employees can get wrapped up in the outside perception of us and not want to be a part of that. Management needs to continue to mature, watch their words, and 'grow up' as we grow and increase in importance.

Pros

I love being able to make positive change to a company from the ground up - but we also have the opportunity to make positive change to the WORLD which is a major plus! The culture is so on point - EVERYONE loves what they do here. Everyone is extremely passionate. I would have a VERY difficult time ever working for another company that doesn't share the same culture and values and hustle as Uber does.

Cons

The job requires long work hours. Like - always working. That said, it's work that I WANT to do to make the company better, so no complaints here.
