Pros

Some of the smartest people I have worked with. The engineers are smart driven and motivated. Uber brings in a culture that allows for innovation and fast paced development. Great perks and lunch

Cons

- Nothing really. Crowded happening offices?

Pros

Working at Uber has been awesome; it's a fast-paced environment where you're always on your toes to learn new things and implement the latest tech. There's so much going on behind the scenes at Uber that your opportunities are endless. Oh, and there's working for a company where every new startup seems to be an "Uber" for something. It's exhilarating to be a part of this thing!

Cons

The insane growth comes with it's downsides: Uber is no longer a scrappy startup where everybody knows everybody and you're all at least aware of what others are working on. Now days it's taken on a little more of a "corporate" feel with levels of management and computer policies. Uber has handled it pretty well, but it's a bit of a whirlwind to go from one to the other

Pros

Uber attracts a wide of backgrounds, with people who excel at what they do. The environment is genuinely fast paced -- just look at how many cities we have launched in 2014. We hit 100 in April, then 200 at the end of this summer. In addition, we are genuinely making a real difference in the places we operate, connecting people with a reliable ride.

Cons

Definitely not a 9-5 job. You're expected to be (almost) always-on, so bring your A game! You do get vacation, and many weekends off, but in order to bring about the change we want, we work really hard to continue to make progress. Also, we get a lot of (unfair) negative press about issues that we don't really have time to adequately address and correct... so most people love us, but working here you have to be prepared to take criticism and Uber questions in your off time from friends and family etc., and answer in a diplomatic way but in a way that doesn't compromise our competitive advantages.
