Pros

Everyone believes in the mission of the company, is extremely smart, and works very hard to contribute to company success. Management has empowered employees to be able to make a variety of decisions and there is very little bureaucracy at all. Teams around the world all develop a strong sense of camaraderie and pride and are constantly working to innovate. Always new problems to solve and satisfaction in the sense to contribute directly to company success.

Cons

Hours are certainly long. Maintaining balance between personal and work life would be considered more of a con if colleagues weren't so much fun to be around. Could be tough on someone with children or a family at home.

Pros

Uber has an incredibly stimulating workplace environment where you are surrounded by talented and intelligent coworkers. Since the company is exploding, hard work is rewarded with new responsibility and the potential to jump into roles that are not yet even created! The work hard, play hard mentality really propels the team forward - employees are passionate about making Uber the absolute best product out there.

Cons

You need to be able to execute without much direction and adapt well to constantly changing priorities. You are your own boss and must be able to own that responsibility!

Pros

Plain and simple - ownership. Uber is not just a start-up, but hundreds of start-ups in cities all over the world. That keeps the environment feeling small, nimble, and experimental. You have tons of autonomy to make your own decisions and run your business. A true entrepreneurial experience!

Cons

Uber is a super high growth environment. It's exactly the challenge I wanted and why I joined, but you have to be prepared for full on start-up mode.
