Moving fast but risky

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people with awesome backgrounds and knowledge People are helpful and want to move fast

Cons

Give time for the infrastructure to grow and stabilize Long working hours and no work/life balance Long working hours

Uber Response

Definitely agree the coworkers and the pace of work is a major pro to work here. As we scale up I think a lot of the cons you call out will improve, specifically infrastructure and the long hours. I do want to encourage you to have an open conversation with your manager about your needs from a work/life balance perspective, as it's important to have the time off to recharge when you need it. Thanks for the review!

Awesome company with insanely great values-that are actually put into action

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have gotten the opportunity to make real world impact. I like that about Uber. Most companies are worried about the next social opportunity, but here at Uber we are helping shape the future.

Cons

In some parts of the company people feel pressured to work extremely long hours, and I even feel that pressure sometimes. I think this happens because there is pressure put on by management or senior engineers to get things done, because everything is "critical". My team does a pretty good job of this and I feel like I have a great work/life balance though.

Uber Response

Candid, honest, and helpful feedback. Thanks so much for joining us for the ride, and keep up the great work!
