Pros

Uber's environment is like no other - both good and bad. There is no other company out there like it now in the valley and as they say, things are moving like a roller coaster. The platform is phenomenal and it will be exciting to see what directions the company takes. Great perks and awesome work spaces. Uber truly has the potential to be that dream job (but unfortunately they cannot fufill on critical aspect of what keep employees happy - see below).

Cons

The talent Uber is trying to bring on (and keep) requires the same in management, and in some instances this isn't the case. The really bad: Expect long work hours, an engineer-focused culture and total lack of HR boundaries (read: don't be surprised by management verbally abusing/insulting employees). Employees are not valued, management experience is questionable at best, and pay is below industry standard.

Pros

The reason I was attracted was its startup market. Each region has relative autonomy, so there's a good degree of breathing space. I also liked the company's overall vision.

Cons

They treat their employees like they treat their drivers: subservient. I've never interviewed somewhere where I actually felt like the interviewers were against me. I should have taken that as a red flag, but I joined anyways and quit a month later.

Pros

Casual workplace, paid healthcare, Uber credit and other perks. Most importantly, it's a great product.

Cons

Terrible managers and bad office politics. Managers receive little to no training and it shows in their inability to handle leading teams. It's somewhat reminiscent of middle school - lots of backbiting and gossip, bordering on sabotage. Very unprofessional environment, bordering on toxic.
