Pros

Uber has been the first place that I've worked wherein I actually use computer science and can't solve problems by copying and pasting things from stack overflow.

Cons

Work/life balance isn't the best unless you're fine being best friends with your workmates. There are a lot of growing pains, though scaling at a mind boggling rate is an interesting problem in its own right.

Pros

Smartest and most passionate people. Everyone in the team are excited about the impact and opportunity. People believe Uber is changing the way people live. This is the kind of work that every morning when you wake up, you feel like your achievement will be rewarded and you are proud of what you are doing.

Cons

Since company is on a huge growth path, the office is getting crowded. But the working environment is very stylish and there is already a plan to expand the office space.

Pros

Challenging problems to solve, smartest coworkers in the business, beautiful office space. Lots to keep an engineer busy, as evident by the growing number of 4+ year employees (only a 5 year old company!).

Cons

Lots of work + passionate coworkers + tireless management = work-life balance difficulties. Luckily most days being in the office with coworkers is more stress relieving than holing up in a coffee shop to work by yourself.
