Pros

Uber has some of the brightest minds working on cutting-edge projects involving all-hands on deck. From world-class deals and litigation that is changing the face of tech-law, to scaling exponential growth and moving globally lightening fast, we work crazy hours sometimes because this is the most exciting place to be! Leaders of the industry in each respective field are working to build a new economy driven by instant consumer input. The best ideas win and the focus is on creating something great. It's inspiring to work here!

Cons

We work longer hours than the typical 9-5 job, but that is because Uber has places to be, people to see, and paradigms to change. Timing is flexible and team communication is open enough to work through any potential timing snafus.

Pros

Uber has been an absolutely amazing place to work. You are given a lot of responsibility out of the gate, just because there is so much work to do which makes it an amazing place to learn and grow in your career. The management is driven and execution focused but also has the vision to see beyond the day to day that could keep Uber busy for years. Uber isn't a cult which is what I've seen at a lot of tech companies but also remains a tight knit community.

Cons

The culture is very competitive (although from what I've seen so far merit based) and if you're looking to work a normal 9 to 5 Uber isn't for you.

Pros

Working at such a fast growing company, I can have a hand in everything. New ideas are encouraged and there's a freedom to pursue your interests. There is no defined career path which makes the future even more exciting. The company is filled with smart people that are truly passionate about their work.

Cons

If work-life balance is your thing, Uber is not for you. 6+ days a week of work is the norm and there are often last minute changes that come up that will force you to cancel plans. With that said, it doesn't feel like a traditional job and the time flies. As we grow fast, there is some growing pains where not everything (systems, org structure, etc) are in place.
