Tech-focused company with emphasis on scalability!

Pros

Uber is a technology-first company. Despite its number of users growing exponentially month over month, the mobile product remains highly scalable and stable, unlike any other fast growing company that I have worked for. Product teams, engineers, and designers collectively decide which features are the most important for upcoming sprints and, so during development, all hands are on deck and everyone involved is excited to build the feature.

Cons

There are times where you'll be given hard deadlines, simply due to regulatory demands and business contracts with partners. This can make some weeks more stressful than others.

Pros

Uber is fast-moving, challenging, fulfilling, and fun! I'm so thankful every day that I get to work at such a forward-thinking and innovative company. Unlike other tech companies like Facebook or Google, Uber creates thousands of jobs, positively impacts communities, and improves the quality of life for riders. Uber is growing FAST, and there are infinite opportunities here to take on challenging projects, develop leadership skills, and grow your career.

Cons

Since Uber is growing very quickly, most people here are very new and have a varied experience managing others. Some people are better managers than others.

Pros

Uber is the best company to work for I can think of : the speed of everything is incredible, yet we thrive to get all the big things and the little details right in order to build the best service possible, at the largest scale possible. The teams are really impressive, both in terms of human experiences / personal stories and in terms of intellectual power. Never have I been so stimulated in a professional environment. And everybody is so passionate by the job that the feeling is more one of a huge community than a corporate work, even with our size nowadays. Each city is managed like a small start-up, with a lot of latitude in terms of local operations, but with all the support a global organisation can provide in terms of processes, tools, finance and best practices. Best of both worlds !

Cons

I don't really see any cons in my current position, if I really wanted to write something, I would say that since each city/market is it's own little start up, you won't get to travel a lot when you're in the operations team because each team is focused on its city. But this is just a beginning and cross-city teams are beginning to appear
