Pros

Great Brand name. Exposure to some great problems in the industry.

Cons

There is very little to learn. The company is full of new college grads who hardly know how to write maintainable code. The company has a very little sense of direction and believes in throwing money at every problem. The CEO believes that employee should at least put in 80 hrs/week. No work like balance.

Thanks for taking the time to write up this review. I see you've moved on to a new opportunity, but if you'd be willing to chat offline I'd appreciate a few minutes to talk with you about specific ways we can improve Uber. Feel free to reach out and I can set up a time to chat: pierce@uber.com.

Pros

I'm really happy how high skill level of engineering we have in our local office as well as in HQ. Also everyone in the team is very friendly and I would say that we have quite healthy atmosphere in the company overall.

Cons

I don't have negative feedback for now.

Pros

- Work on self driving technology (absolutely interesting stuff) - Close knit co-working environment (Pittsburgh) - Get setup with whatever you need (macbooks, standing desks, headphones, etc..) - Great work-life balance - Uber credits

Cons

- No 401k (however, you're compensated with equity)

I know you're busy building the future in Pittsburgh, but I wanted to send a quick 'thanks' for the feedback and review! Can't wait to see the innovative new technologies your team will bring to market.
