Pros

1) You get to solve interesting and meaningful problems 2) You work with very smart and friendly co-workers 3) You have high impacts and your code get deployed in production frequently 4) You are flexible on design decisions while you take ownership on projects

Cons

1) Code review and code style is not strongly enforced which sometimes can cause trouble or make it difficult to understand legacy code 2) Test in production culture -> there is no QA at Uber so everyone is QA. You are responsible for your own bug but many times people are not careful enough and cause outages in production 3) Technical debts 4) Sometimes people get fired simply because s/he isn't in good relationship with direct manager

Pros

If I didn't work here and I knew what kind of work was going on at Uber, I would be pretty sad. There is a ton of opportunity. There is a lot to learn. There is a lot to build. There is a lot to celebrate. I really can't think of another place I'd like to be.

Cons

As we grow at our crazy rate, we encounter problems. It is up to us to step up and fix those problems.

Pros

- Smart people - Fast pace - Great leadership - Awesome benefits - Tightly knit teams/company Working for a company that is driven by a vision that every employee shares makes working a pleasure. People here work hard and are great at getting things done. It also helps that we all use our application multiple times a week so we understand the product that we're building.

Cons

- As a company that is growing exponentially (global reach and it's personnel), we're constantly faced with new challenges in scaling people and processes, and although handling growing pains is well executed, it requires constant communication that sometimes isn't perfectly executed. - You'll get pushed to work hard and get a lot done. If you can't keep up with the work, it will impact your work-life balance.
