Pros

I work with the most intelligent, fun, interesting colleagues, I love what I do, and I feel very invested in our mission!

Cons

I work all the time and it never ends! I rarely leave before 8pm and always have a bit to do on the weekends. It feels like I can never quite catch up - but at the same time I love it, so it's cool :)

Thanks for your feedback and the kind words. No one wants you to over do it! Take a beat and work with your manager if you think things are getting out of hand. You're obviously very motivated, but we don't want you to burn out.

Pros

• Amazing, smart, fun coworkers • You can be creative in terms of how you go about your job • Meritocracy for the most part • Organized and efficient overall • You can work from anywhere... you have a home base office but if you're traveling, you can work from that Uber office. They don't care what you do as long as you get your work done. • Hipchat makes it easy to stay in touch with colleagues all over the country

Cons

• Very stressful • Long hours • You work evenings, weekends, and holidays • Constant metrics-based evaluation means you're always thinking about the next thing • Hard to wait on stuff from the Design team, which is at HQ so if you're in an office that's not there, you feel like you're blind and dependent on them

Thanks for this feedback, I see that you've left the company but I'm going to bring this review to the attention of HR. It's got some great insights into remote work / satellite offices. -Andrew

Pros

+ Incredibly ambitious mission provides countless product opportunities and engineering challenges. + The engineering team is a melting pot that includes numerous veterans from top-tier technology companies, such as Apple, Google, and Facebook, and the culture borrows from the best aspects of each. + There's a pervasive habit of transparency and honest, often critical self-reflection, with an aim of always improving oneself and one's peers. Real change comes swiftly when there are problems. + Teams are organized to be small and autonomous so that every engineer can have an outsized impact. + Things move quickly and the team and business are growing rapidly. There's ample opportunity to make a dent and advance your career. + Enjoy the impact of working at a small, fast-moving startup with the reach and security of a multi-billion dollar industry giant.

Cons

- The growth of the team has times outpaced the growth of processes and support staff. Every so often you encounter a problem you'd expect a company of this size and impact to have solved. - The downsize of the fast-moving, autonomous teams is that coordinating across teams can be a challenge. - Headed in the right direction, but there's a long way to go in terms of workforce diversity.

Excellent insights, thank you. I'm hopeful and feel positive that we'll stay ahead the growing pains that we're experience with such massive growth. Keep things transparent and keep speaking up and we'll win!
