High rates of burnout among engineering

Pros

The product is great and it's nice that the company is doing so well. Fun and interesting coworkers

Cons

Lots of pressure, long hours (face-time is emphasized), little mentoring, conflict between management and team members, very hierarchical structure. Significant growing pains with the hyper-growth. Seems to be lots of burnout and many people feel trapped into just staying for their stock options.

Pros

Uber has been the first place that I've worked wherein I actually use computer science and can't solve problems by copying and pasting things from stack overflow.

Cons

Work/life balance isn't the best unless you're fine being best friends with your workmates. There are a lot of growing pains, though scaling at a mind boggling rate is an interesting problem in its own right.

Pros

Smartest and most passionate people. Everyone in the team are excited about the impact and opportunity. People believe Uber is changing the way people live. This is the kind of work that every morning when you wake up, you feel like your achievement will be rewarded and you are proud of what you are doing.

Cons

Since company is on a huge growth path, the office is getting crowded. But the working environment is very stylish and there is already a plan to expand the office space.
