Pros

You feel really close to your coworkers, the company really takes care of you by providing fitness and meal perks in the office. Still a start-up feel but a professional environment.

Cons

Sometimes the work/life balance can be a bit skewed, but it's improved since I started!

Pros

Best thing about working at Uber is the autonomy. You're given a ton of responsibility to build awesome products and if you're willing to roll up your sleeves and get right into the weeds of a problem - you'll do well here. The company is growing at such an incredible pace that there's a new challenge each and every day.You'll never be bored and there's always something fun to work on. The benefits are also top notch - riding in Black Cars, catered lunches, and free healthcare is pretty awesome.

Cons

The worst thing about Uber is comp. We get a good amount of equity which will 100% be worth it in the end, but if you're coming from Finance or Consulting expect a 20-30% cash pay cut. The hours used to be maddening but we've done a much better job at hiring recently. The work life balance has gotten a lot better but it's still really hard to disconnect. Expect to always be on and get pulled away during major holidays, events, promos, etc. We're always sprinting.

Pros

Fast paced exciting work environment. Expect to work long, hard, and smart but never just two of the three. The teams here are built from all of the smartest kids in the class.

Cons

Work life balance can be a struggle when you're putting in the hours it takes to grow the company as fast as it has been in the past years. In the end you have to decide what you value more: Your weekends or building something great with a team of amazingly talented individuals.
