Pros

Great product market fit - strong growth

Cons

Run by a sociopath - culture is highly toxic and deprrssing. The recent suicide is a prime example of the type of company Uber is. It may win but management here does not care about creating a great place to work.

Pros

Company is growing fast. Lots of technical challenges. Less of legacy baggage.

Cons

Politics. Too much of it. Left the company within a year since I could not handle the continuous nepotism, criticism etc of work. We are expected to work like crazy and anyone who does anything other than work is frowned upon. No work life balance. Not worth joining now that the upside is also not much. Recruiters talk trash of Uber being a $500 B company in the future. I would be surprised if they even sustain their current valuation.

Pros

Great Brand name. Exposure to some great problems in the industry.

Cons

There is very little to learn. The company is full of new college grads who hardly know how to write maintainable code. The company has a very little sense of direction and believes in throwing money at every problem. The CEO believes that employee should at least put in 80 hrs/week. No work like balance.
