Pros

When I walk around the office, I often think to myself: "How lucky am I to be working at the most valuable and innovative startup in the world? I seriously can't believe I'm here." + everyone is incredibly kind, passionate, and hardworking; people are always willing to answer your questions / help you when you need it + you're working alongside the smartest engineers in the WORLD and solving the toughest problems + amazing perks/benefits (we also have tech talks, Wellness Week, special guest speakers) + spectacular management + the company makes sure that office politics/bureaucracy don't get in the way of innovation + performance review process is seamless and transparent + has employee resource groups (ERGs) that focus on diversity + you can take ownership of projects and propose your own (your ideas get heard) + projects are exciting and impactful + fun, fast-paced, high-energy culture

Cons

- projects are often underscoped - we're hiring/growing so fast that there are new faces in the office all the time (makes it hard to recognize people) - negative perception of Uber brand on the outside makes it hard to get recognition for all the good things Uber does as a company :(

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
