Great work environment, still the "just do it" culture

Pros

Uber is a great place to work! It has a very relaxed and friendly environment and atmosphere, with top notch equipment and full of very, very smart people. We also have great breakfast and lunch at the office, and the Uber credits we get are awesome, specially because of UberEats. You barely need to cook if you work for Uber. Our new CEO also seems to be pushing us in the right direction to become a more and more serious company.

Cons

Some engineering teams seem to be hooked onto the old culture of "grow, grow, grow", which means that we sometimes "just do it", instead of "do it right". There are very few mature engineering processes or rules of thumb, so it may look chaotic if you come from a company with very mature engineering processes. Also, on call is not paid extra in cash but you get to come very late to the office on the next day, but the whole on call thing is a con for me.

Thanks for the thorough review and feedback. Totally agree with your pros around friendly environment and Dara pushing us in the right direction. Regarding the cons you mention, it does seem like things are improving when it comes to "just do it" vs. "do it right," but thanks for raising this. Keep up the great work!

Pros

Challenging work, free food, benefits, employee development, internal communication, work-life balance. Despite negative press, the company internally is run very well and executives listen to the employee concerns and address them. New CEO is doing a great job as well.

Cons

Rapidly growing company so some bumps along the way, negative press.
