Pros

My time at Uber has been very rewarding so far. - Great technical challenges, great work - Strong mission and real, large impact to society. Ambitious goals. - Lots of talented people here. - Move fast. Less bureaucracy - A good combination of startup speed and big company resources - Very good growth opportunities as the company grows.

Cons

- Sometimes move too fast, and expect more from you. Basically bad work-life balance. But they are trying to change this, so lets see. - Company is not cash heavy, not profitable -- so perks are good but not as good as some very profitable companies.

Thank you! I really like how you call out the impact every individual has here; that's one thing we know is unique to Uber and is what keeps me excited about coming to work every day. I definitely recommend having a conversation with your manager if your work-life balance is suffering. I've noticed it's improved significantly recently and it's important we all lead healthy lives. Thanks again for the review and all your hard work in SF!

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
