In the early days of the company it was amazing, but it has devolved into a soulless mega-corp

Pros

Uber is jam packed with amazing talent. So many hard engineering problems, product problems, and finance problems. It's easy to learn a ton, and it's awesome to be a part of such an interesting company. I can say that I've met many fun, incredible people there, and I do believe Uber is making a tangible change in the world.

Cons

The company as it stands today is a pre-IPO slaughterhouse. Depending on what team you're on, or the luck of the draw, you will be guilted into working crazy hours. After all, everyone else does it, so why shouldn't you? You will be on-call 24 hours a day. You will be judged heavily by your "commitment to the company." You personal life is absolutely meaningless. Uber will need to be at the forefront of your mind at all hours of the day, and even in your dreams. TL;DR There is no work-life balance. You will burn out.

Pros

Fast paced, tons of opportunities to contribute, great positive atmosphere, very sharp coworkers. Lots of very interesting and far reaching problems being worked on. Attracts passionate people who are the best at what they do.

Cons

You have to look out for yourself to make sure you have the support you need to do your job right. Self-starters do best. Very little hand holding. Fewer perks than other tech companies. Very demanding, of course.

Pros

I have the experience of working for 3 of the top software companies in the Bay area and have recently started working for Uber. I joined Uber among a handful of different other offers. I was a little doubtful before starting but am more than happy about my decision after spending sometime there. It is a great place to work with lots of opportunities to grow. It still has its startup culture focusing on rapid development and growth and avoiding common bureaucracy at larger companies. Everyone is friendly and supportive and you immediately feel as part of the family.

Cons

While its catered food quality is better than many of the other tech companies in Bay area, it can still be improved. considering the fact that the company grew from a few employee to hundreds of them in very short time, I am sure the problem will be taken soon. The variation and types of food catered is not that many, although the quality of the used ingredients is good.
