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

Pros

I like to say working at Uber is great because of the four Ps. P - Product P - People P - Process P - Problems Product: Our product is something that I use every single day. I've worked at various companies in both the B2B and B2C sector and I've never cared about a product as much as I do Uber. Getting around a city (both where I live and where I travel) was always a pain before Uber. Now when I leave my house I don't have to worry about how I'm going to get there because the answer is Uber. People: The people that I work with are amazing. They come from all walks of life and each person has a different background . People here have individually accomplished so much and have worked so many places in their past that there is always something to learn. Scaling AWS at Amazon, building the infrastructure of Yelp, and building Amazon's product in the early days are just a few of the amazing accomplishments that my co-workers have achieved. Process: Get stuff done and Uber will provide you the tools and resources to do that. Need a vacation? Take one. Need a light at your desk? Here's one. Want to work across the country at one of our offices? Go. Want to work from home in the mornings? Do it. What matters is that you get stuff done.

Cons

Uber moves fast and we have to because we live and work in an ever changing world of regulation, culture, supply, demand, and on and on. Working at Uber isn't for everyone. Everyone at Uber is dedicated to the company and each person does what it takes to make Uber a success. Does that mean you work till midnight every night or the weekends? Sometimes. Is that a weekly thing? No, it's rare but it will happen. Does that mean you'll get woken up at 3AM to take care of a critical issue that's happening during the day across the world? Sometimes. Is that a daily thing? No, it's rare but it will happen. But to me, none of it matters because Uber is a company, product, and vision that I care about and am dedicated to.

Pros

- Day to day is extremely fun and the job is very challenging. I wake up every day excited to come to work - Fantastic learning experience for personal and career growth (high degree of autonomy and responsibility) - Super smart, capable, driven, and fun peers - The business is revolutionizing transportation and as such is providing a much needed service to both consumers and partner drivers. This makes it a very satisfying place to work - Company culture is exactly what I love, very results driven, numbers focused, and analytical. Best idea wins every time

Cons

- High volume of work load. As I love my job so much this isnt a con for me, but I know many people who value a very relaxed work life balance.
