      Pros

      Uber credits monthly, stocked kitchen free to enjoy, and a laid back work environment. Good health benefits.

      Cons

      Poor leadership. Leadership and overall management didn't exist. Most are young employees doing very little and everything is over looked. Employees handling the most sensitive issues (sexual assault, physical assault, fatalities) come into work dirty, talk about how much weed they smoke and how much they drink nightly. If you are an uneducated, unprofessional person with poor hygiene, you'll fit in. It's similar to high school. Major things change on a daily basis. Like schedules, policies and procedures with little to no notice. Everyone tries very hard to be important. Always coming up with some "amazing" project that's a joke. Superiority runs free, and deep. They do not match 401k, and tell you about future raises that never really pan out. If you make friends with some stinky pot head that is in management, you'll be set. If not.. plan to struggle.

      Great place to grow and make an impact

      Pros

      I've worked for a number of great companies over the years: Google, the games industry, research labs. I can with confidence that Uber is the best place I've ever worked. The challenges are fascinating. We're not just building a website or driving ad clicks. We're attempting to fundamentally change the way people and things are transported around the globe. The impact is tangible. At a place like Google, it's easy for an engineer to feel lost in the weeds. Uber has become a big company, but every project still feels vital. Every engineer has the chance to affect millions of riders and driver partners. The opportunities are abundant. Uber has grown faster than any startup in history, but that growth meant there wasn't always time to build to scale. That's both a positive and a negative at times, but on the plus side, it means there are many parts of our tech stack that can be optimized and improved by a motivated engineer. If you want to take ownership or a project you feel passionate about, no one is going to get in your way. Change is happening. 2017 was a real wake up call for Uber. Thankfully, the company took note and listened. We're now refocusing on the longterm sustainability of growth and talent. I've seen so much positive change happen in just over a year. It's been a roller coaster of emotions at times, but it always trends upwards.

      Cons

      On the con side of the tech debt problem I alluded to before, there are parts of the engineering process that are painful at times. We've been committing resources to fix it, but there's still a lot of room to improve. Different parts of the organization still feel oceans apart. Maps reminds me a lot of Google, other parts of the company feel like other organizations entirely. We still have a ways to go towards homogenizing our values and standards, but things are improving. Just be mindful of which team you end up on if you decide to join. that said, transferring is easy and encouraged. The media attention can be draining. The world can't seem to stop talking about Uber. In some ways it feels motivating to be working when all eyes are pointed your way, but it can also be painful to be put under such intense scrutiny.
