Pros

- There are few other places where you get a chance to make such a huge impact on people's everyday lives. - Uber has an army of the smartest, most driven individuals giving their 100% towards the mission of reliable safe transportation. Success is not surprising, its the obvious outcome.

Cons

- When you're tackling the toughest problems in the world, don't expect it to be easy. Work at Uber is hard and requires a lot of focus. Stress is common but its the nature of the beast.

Pros

- there is an unlimited amount of cool stuff to do, yet there is also work-life balance, if you want it. - the antithesis of an "Office Space" culture. - feels like a startup, probably thanks to the tight-nit city teams, in a way that normal tech companies don't.

Cons

- none at the moment.

Business Outlook

Pros

- A lot of startups claim to be changing the world. Uber actually helps people in 300+ cities earn an income and get around. It doesn't get higher impact than that. - Great engineering. Uber is pushing the boundaries of what dynamically typed, interpreted languages can do. It also picked up Node and Go when they were still very new and is now a leader in both. - Many problems the company faces can only be solved by a combination of technology and people. For example, how can we help concert-goers get to and from Coachella? The solution involved both product and operations teams. Even as an engineer I'm learning a lot about business just by following what our city teams and leadership do.

Cons

Uber faces stiff competition in Asia. The company moves extremely face to get ahead, which means the work is more challenging than at your typical Silicon Valley tech company.
