Pros

#1 A truly data driven company where scientific experiment results drive business decisions and politics rarely do - The rare tech company with true real-world operations that positively impact lots of people (income creation for drivers, convenience, affordability, and comfort for riders) - It's a rocket ship - Talented, cool people

Cons

- Low salary. Yes the equity should make up for it in the long run, but it's not awesome to live in SF on a budget - Long hours. Not really a Con because the work is fun but it can be a LOT at times

Pros

I came from a management consulting background to the Ops team, and could not be happier. It's been less than a year, and I can genuinely say I made the best career decision moving to HQ and working here. As to why.. (1) Smartest, most intellectually curious people who are data driven and can execute - I am constantly amazed by the intelligence and background of everyone on the team. Some of the brightest people I've met in my life, and I am so lucky to be learning from such diverse backgrounds and approaches to thinking. One of things that was missing from management consulting was true hands-on execution. Uber is about bringing forward the brainpower + ability to execute, and it's an incredibly fulfilling combo. (2) Hustle and energy - Enthusiasm / Uber love for the product and team is unparalleled. Everyone looks out for each other to hustle, pitch in, and get it done, regardless of what it takes. (3) It's just fun - I really look forward to work each day.

Cons

Difficult to come up with cons, but probably work-life balance (not unheard of in the tech world here in SF). Uber does end up seeping into what I think about 24/7, and end up working quite a bit into weekends, etc. but that's also a personal decision.

Pros

I've been at Uber for about a year and a half and I couldn't imagine a better place to work! Here are a few things I love most: - Meaningful Work: We get to work on meaningful issues and make a real impact on how people move around the world. I go to work everyday with a purpose and see results. - Culture: The culture at Uber is awesome - the best ideas win, not seniority. The people are awesome and it's a very work hard, play hard atmosphere. The culture is also super transparent. You have access to senior management, and everything you need to be as successful as possible - Perks: Unlimited vacation, gym membership, catered lunches, Uber credit - the perks rock.

Cons

Long hours - but it doesn't feel long because I like what I'm doing. If you're in the office late, we'll normally order dinner as a group. Work/life Balance: Uber will become a big part of your life. Everyone that works here is passionate and likes to go the extra mile. If you're not willing to let your job bleed over into your personal life, this probably isn't the right place for you.
