      Pros

      Uber is a fast moving company where you will never run out of work to do. Despite of this, the work life balance is very good. As long as you're productive when your here you'll have no problems. My favorite thing about Uber is how fast they move. They experiment a lot and prefer to try things instead of theorize about them.

      Cons

      Because of how fast they move, sometimes it's hard to keep up do date on all the stuff Uber is doing around the world.

      Great, Fast-Growing Company

      Pros

      - Smart people - Fast pace - Great leadership - Awesome benefits - Tightly knit teams/company Working for a company that is driven by a vision that every employee shares makes working a pleasure. People here work hard and are great at getting things done. It also helps that we all use our application multiple times a week so we understand the product that we're building.

      Cons

      - As a company that is growing exponentially (global reach and it's personnel), we're constantly faced with new challenges in scaling people and processes, and although handling growing pains is well executed, it requires constant communication that sometimes isn't perfectly executed. - You'll get pushed to work hard and get a lot done. If you can't keep up with the work, it will impact your work-life balance.

      Great work place at least at HQ. Different cities and driver might have a very different experience

      Pros

      I was surprised about the amount of smart to very smart people working here. The company culture makes it so everybody learns from each other, and at least for my software engineer position, it makes the job much more interesting. Compensation is not competitive for the bay, but people bet on the stocks, and if you believe in it, it is a game changer in comparison with higher salaries you could get somewhere else. My favorite part is that most people ( if not all ? ) are truly passionate about what they're doing here and we thrive with the belief that we're making a difference for people. Perks are better than what they sound like during the interview.

      Cons

      This company requires a LOT of work. I'm not talking about startup like, you will get emails at any time of day or night, week days and weekends. Some of them you will be expected to respond. It looks fine for most people because everybody is very involved in what they're doing, so most people don't seem to care, but I wouldn't be surprised if some burn out quickly. The company is also growing at a fast rate, which makes it difficult to know if things are still gonna be as good in the future ( so far so good though... )
