Pros

Extremely smart, intelligent people.

Cons

Management is horrible, and so is work/life balance. The pay isn't worth it.

Pros

Uber's business is growing at a tremendous pace, not only is that good for the companies value, but it also provides employees with lot's of opportunity to grow in their careers. The mission of the company is clear, and the leadership is truly committed to the mission. Leadership is committed to the mission of the company, the mission is clear. This is a company of execution and action. Compensation seems fair. They tend to go high on equity and lower on salary, depending on your personal financial situation this could also be a con.

Cons

Definitely some politics, and not so great people who got through the door, however this part of the reality of a high growth company. Some teams, definitely not all, don't have the best work life balance. High pressure environment, comes along with the pro of the company being execution and actionable. There is a fair amount of politics, and people who are "coasting" due to the rapid company growth.

Pros

Amazing peers, highly motivated and ambitious. Inspiring challenges and problems to solve will keep you constantly on your toes. Innovation is valued, decisions are taken quick and the learning curve is steep. There's a great amount of change needed to scale the business and support the company's growth in all fronts and you will be able to build and contribute to it.

Cons

High ambitions translate into high expectations and the productivity bar is high. There's flexibility in working hours but still a predominant American business culture that needs to open up to cultural differences.
