Pros

A lot of reviews on glassdoor are from Drivers/Partners that don't capture how the engineering culture is. Company is solving a really big & tough problem - ground transportation. There is a whole new level of reliability that is needed for Uber's systems, due to the fact that it is moving real people and things. FB/Twitter/... not loading for 20 mins is bad for the company's business. But Uber not working for 20 mins, means someone misses their interview or someone might be stranded for a while. So, the company seems to be ready to invest in a lot of long term technology pieces needed to get there. So, if you are a developer hungry for working & experimenting new software systems, I would say Uber should rank among the top 3 places right now in the valley. People are nice and generally willing to help you out. Everyone is tuned (the onboarding process is very good at tuning new people also towards this) to working towards getting things out of the way and march towards the company's goals. So, if you believe in the vision of Uber and have an attitude of making progress, you will do absolutely fine here!

Cons

As with any high growth company, no everything is necessarily figure out.. There is lots & lots & lots of work to do, which could mean longer working hours.

Pros

Simply put, the best job I've had. The business side is growing super fast, and that gives a lot of fascinating problems for the technical side, that I enjoy working on. The best part is that people are smart, dedicated, and hardworking in working towards the goal.

Cons

Cons or not, but not a job for everyone. You have to be dedicated and enjoy working in fast-paced environment.

Pros

- Highly transparent, entrepreneurial, autonomous culture. - Accountability over approval. Move fast, make the right (data-driven) decisions, and don't let bureaucracy/process slow you down. - Lots of hard and interesting problems to solve. We're moving atoms with bits. - Tons of upside potential for the business and lots of room for individual growth. - Still a great ground-level opportunity. Helping to shape important product/policy/processes every day. - No excuses. People get things done here.

Cons

- This is not a place for you if you need a lot of process/structure to succeed - Be prepared to work as hard as everyone around you, which is really hard. I don't actually see/hear anyone complaining excessively about the hours though because everyone's so into what we're doing here.
