Pros

Uber is no doubt an interesting company. A day does not go by without Uber in the news.

Cons

Uber is an extremely frustrating place to work (The honeymoon period wears off pretty quickly). The company has the money and the brand to attract the best in terms of engineering but for whatever reason the product and engineering orgs leave so much to be desired (and I am not even in engineering!) All too frequently it seems the company runs into painful outages, bugs, broken tools, etc that negatively impacts employees and users. Everything seems to be tested in production. The company doesn't know what a staging environment is.

Hi - thank you for your review. We're focused on continuing to raise the bar of the talent we bring on board across the company. While we know the importance of shipping our product quickly and efficiently, it's equally important to have the infrastructure and systems in place to keep our products stable and reliable, at all times. We're working hard to get better. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

Usually a steady schedule, flexible hours, decent pay for the job. Diverse coworkers. Lunches and drinks. Lots of free time.

Cons

Incredibly hard to get anywhere higher up unless you have an "in" or fit perfectly into the office ambience. Many referrals created clique type feelings. There is a feeling of divide between the contracted employees and (for lack of better word) "official" employees. Was asked many times to go against city compliances (there are many regulations Uber must oblige to and they request their employees to bend, stretch or ignore the rules.) Management is unorganized and don't keep track of electronics or keys given to employees. False promises are made all the time, in regards to your career life, compensation, and time off.
