Pros

Fulfilling work. Focused and hard working culture. Transparent management. Refreshing experience. Fun and warm colleagues. = I've never been happier. And I previously worked at the last two hottest startups in Silicon Valley for the last few years.

Cons

There is nothing that I would specifically consider a "con" of working at Uber. If anything, I'd suggest to management that they hire an executive chef and kitchen staff and build out a full kitchen that serves gourmet breakfast, lunch and dinner. I know this sounds a bit ridiculous, but food is the centerpiece of hacker culture in Silicon Valley, and was central to creating the "magic" at the last two companies I worked at. I think it'd go a long way in attracking and retaining talent. It does at Google, Facebook, Dropbox and Palantir ;)

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
