Building Uber has been one of my life's defining experiences

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast-moving risk-taking engineering culture where we work hard but are constantly rewarded by experiencing the success of our efforts. The level of intelligence and the level of fun on our team amazes me every day.

Cons

Intensity, autonomy, winning ideas that come from anyone in the company regardless of seniority or tenure... Ingredients that make us successful, but certainly not for everyone.

It's uber awesome

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

a great place for passionate people. The culture is very open and transparent. As an engineer the whole code line is open for you, and you can work on pretty much anything you want to make an impact on. It's a very gratifying experience as you can make changes and see it touch peoples lives almost every day.

Cons

with insane growth comes a lot of side effects, especially around lots of work usually ending up on your plate. There is a struggle on work-life balance, but we're getting good at this. But it's a good problem to have, considering it's a side effect of amazing growth.
