Great engineering shop solving huge problems

Pros

- Unlike some of the other good engineering shops, Uber gives you a chance to develop something from ground up. Uber is still scaling its engineering team, tooling, processes, etc. So there is endless opportunity to pick up something and run with it and making things easier for the next set of Engineers. - Engineering culture is very merit based. Very little gets in the way of you building something new. - The company is very open to change. It is pleasantly surprising how much I was able to change and influence as an Engineer in my first few months.

Cons

- If you come from another big company, you will miss the tooling, infra, etc as it is still under development at Uber

Pros

I love the fast moving teams and the amount of influence we all have on our deliverables. It doesn't matter if you're a product manager, designer, engineer, data scientist, etc, we all have a say in what we are working on in order to solve customer problems and create awesome experiences.

Cons

None from me. Company is getting bigger so space may be an issue for some.

Pros

Uber is doing the most incredible engineering. Everything has to change constantly to handle our growing scale, and to do it the company has assembled the biggest cross section of talent in the Bay Area. No place has more opportunities to learn from so many engineers and contributed to so many projects.

Cons

May have to work long hours sometimes and fight fires when oncall, but the company has a high engineering bar for quality and testing that is constantly reducing the need for this.
