Pros

The people you work with here are some of the most smart and impressive people that I've ever met. Everyone in the company, regardless of title is encouraged to talk about their ideas and make things happen. This has really helped it keep it's startup-like atmosphere that keeps people passionate about what they are doing. The rapid growth of the company also allows you to work on several different types of projects which is great for anyone looking to work on high-impact products and expand their professional skills.

Cons

Because of how frequently Uber is in the media and how many people use the product, as an employee you very frequently have to deal with people with very strong opinions against Uber. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and this is often the case with large startups, but it is something that you should expect to have to deal with.

Pros

Everyone believes in the mission of the company, is extremely smart, and works very hard to contribute to company success. Management has empowered employees to be able to make a variety of decisions and there is very little bureaucracy at all. Teams around the world all develop a strong sense of camaraderie and pride and are constantly working to innovate. Always new problems to solve and satisfaction in the sense to contribute directly to company success.

Cons

Hours are certainly long. Maintaining balance between personal and work life would be considered more of a con if colleagues weren't so much fun to be around. Could be tough on someone with children or a family at home.

Pros

Uber has an incredibly stimulating workplace environment where you are surrounded by talented and intelligent coworkers. Since the company is exploding, hard work is rewarded with new responsibility and the potential to jump into roles that are not yet even created! The work hard, play hard mentality really propels the team forward - employees are passionate about making Uber the absolute best product out there.

Cons

You need to be able to execute without much direction and adapt well to constantly changing priorities. You are your own boss and must be able to own that responsibility!
