Pros

Everyone is extremely intelligent, passionate, and hard working. I'm learning new skills every day that I will be able to use in the future, and pushing myself by being surrounded by talented individuals. People are always willing to help you if you have any questions. Everyone is friendly and fun, and you really feel appreciated. Because it's in a hyper-growth phase right now, there is always more to do and work on. There are tons of interesting engineering problems related to scaling right now that are very unique to Uber. Being a part of that is very exciting to me.

Cons

Work life balance can get a little crazy. I have spent a few late nights at the office (latest was 4am one night). While the management encourages to get a good amount of sleep each night, they also stress for employees to find their "Red Lines" and to push themselves past that if possible. I am all for improvement, but I don't know if more time spent will really have better results. It seems as though time spent is worn as a badge of honor in this office, and all I can do is question if they understand diminishing return. As this is my first job out of college, I am unsure if this is common practice or just the culture of Uber.

Thanks for the full and honest review. As this is your first job, I'll say that Uber is unique. Employees recognize that we're tackling big, complex problems in terms of reimagining and rebuilding the way people engage with their cities and transportation. As you rightly note, it's important to strike a balance. Work hard but take the time to recharge!

The open office style is pretty annoying to me. Downsides depend on your title/office, but there aren't any major ones.

Excellent advice for a growing company. I'll pass on the note about office environment to the Places team. Growth can mean lots of moves and tight quarters -- hopefully some of this will be solved with Oakland and Mission Bay offices. On the mentorship note, we've just rolled out more in depth feedback surveys for managers and are building out employee development content. Thanks!
