Pros

High standards, but high devotion as well. They're committed to my success as much as they are their own. And man...the workplace perks are a huge plus. Feels like I'm working towards a better future for myself and my city.

Cons

No 401k match. I get it, they want you to invest in the company, but I'd rather have more retirement than snacks and catered food. Probably a minority opinion but still notable.

Pros

Coworkers are great, some very inspiring people walking the halls. Lot's of nice collaboration. Folks really care about the company. I still truly believe in the mission with everything I have.

Cons

In the last 6-9 months the executive engineering leadership hiring has been really worrying. Lot's of bullying and scatterbrained direction. Reviews are a total blackbox - most times your manager doesn't even know why you got the rating you did. People are scared like I've never seen before.

Thanks for raising your concerns, they're important to hear. If you'd be willing, I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on the hiring bar and the reviews process. I'd be happy to talk offline and confidentially. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com

Pros

Uber is jam packed with amazing talent. So many hard engineering problems, product problems, and finance problems. It's easy to learn a ton, and it's awesome to be a part of such an interesting company. I can say that I've met many fun, incredible people there, and I do believe Uber is making a tangible change in the world.

Cons

The company as it stands today is a pre-IPO slaughterhouse. Depending on what team you're on, or the luck of the draw, you will be guilted into working crazy hours. After all, everyone else does it, so why shouldn't you? You will be on-call 24 hours a day. You will be judged heavily by your "commitment to the company." You personal life is absolutely meaningless. Uber will need to be at the forefront of your mind at all hours of the day, and even in your dreams. TL;DR There is no work-life balance. You will burn out.
