      The most challenging yet rewarding job I've ever had

      Pros

      All city teams are run as little startups. There is no limit to what you can achieve and the company gives you free rein. You get to work with the smartest people from around the world, on a daily basis. There is no 'politics' at this company, just exceptionally motivated people trying to improve how people around the world move.

      Cons

      Trying to change the world with a small team can be demanding. Be prepared for the (Uber) ride of your life if you join this company. Hyper growth and hyper scalability require hyper focus and hyper commitment. There is no going home at 5 and you will always need to be closing deals.

      Exciting and Empowering

      Pros

      I have truly loved my experience thus far working at Uber. I was hesitant to join because of the news, so through my interview process I was very honest, asked lots of questions, and had a 2 hour conversation with my hiring manager before accepting my offer. Since joining, I've been overwhelmed, in a good way, by the collaboration, the valuing of my opinions, and the excitement of the work I get to do each day.

      Cons

      The best analogy here is like a 14 year old that looks like a 20 year old... Uber is still a young company and I think I expected more things to be in place that are just not yet. Now that I am here and doing the work, I see it differently, but I think that we're still young, we're growing fast, and we need to provide the feedback while also being patient to thoughtfully get the right systems and procedures in place.

      Sink or Swim with Values

      Pros

      - You get to be part of a historic change in the way people work. Whether that change is for the good will be up to history... - Some of the engineering challenges are interesting and hard and being tackled by few others. (Lots of other challenges are being tackled by lots of competitors, and I don't know whether they would be better to work for.) - Guided by a strong mission and set of core values. If you believe in them, you will fit in well and they can keep you going through the long hours.

      Cons

      - Apparently, a lack of transparency. I was oblivious to all of the scandals that have been in the news lately, which disturbs me. - If you don't believe in all the values, you won't fit in. The values are basically not available publicly, and I don't know if they are shared with candidates during recruiting, so make sure you find out what they are. - It seems like the IPO may be more elusive than at other startups. One starts to wonder if they are putting it off to squeeze more work out of the employees. - I don't know how common this is, but I was terminated, to the great sadness and detriment of my team, by a higher level manager for seemed like an irrelevant issue. - Remote work is severely discouraged.
