Pros

Compensation is great, especially with the company recently announcing profitability

Cons

As a software engineer, the trend seems to be that hiring is only growing overseas - so in Europe and India. Not a lot of internal mobility in the US. Depending on the team, but oncall at Uber is super stressful since there are not many great models to follow to have oncalls be more sustainable for engineers. Managers seem to lack vision and micro-manage as well.

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
