Pros

Great environment, good salaries/hourly rates, wonderful perks, very good and open-minded employees, challenging and innovative work always.

Cons

Premature startup with refreshingly little change control and process, but this lends to some disorganization and disconnect between departments. Somewhat of a popularity contest advancing in the company. Very long hours frequently, and co-workers look down on others that don't put in extra time.

Thanks for writing this review! In my experience, working on challenging and innovative projects that have a major impact on the company is my favorite part of working @ Uber. The cons you mention are definitely a sign of our growth and are areas that we're working hard on. We're focused on keeping Uber lean, efficient, and without the 'process overkill' you mention, while scaling the company in the best way possible. Thanks again for the review!

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
