Pros

- Company is still growing fast and has lots of potential in areas like auto-driving cars - Always new projects to work on, most of time it is hard to decide what to work on next since there are so many choices

Cons

- Organizational direction changes constantly, Uber seems to have good vision about the long-term mission, but down to specific projects in engineering department chaos is present all over the place - Politics and internal friction is increasing as company culture somehow encourage aggressiveness, you need to know how to fight for yourself even you are just an engineer.

Definitely agree there are many new and exciting areas to explore, including autonomous. I think some of the cons you call out are representations of our growth, but I'd love to connect with you confidentially to find specific ways we can improve internally. Reach out and we can set up a time to chat: pierce@uber.com. Thanks!

Pros

- Awesome & supportive team - Surrounded by smart driven people - Perks are amazing. Uber credits, free lunches breakfasts, and dinner. - Not as much politics as you wold expect for a tier 1 engineering company. - Still feels like a startup, and everyone hustles appropriately.

Cons

- Some people expect Uber to be at the same organization level as a Facebook or a Google, but we are still so young and that leads some people to just complain about dumb things about quality of food or lack of process. - Some people are here just waiting for an IPO and not because they are passionate about Uber.

Pros

Still has a feel of a growing company within. A lot of young and energetic people.

Cons

You want to stay late yourself and it's very easy to do so. Dinner (+beer) is served, towels/showers in the building.
