Pros

The team at Uber is truly awesome. Right from the CEO to the engineer right out of college, everyone seems to be self-driven, optimistic and go-getter. There is a lot of product focus in the engineering ranks. The people are smart and there is willingness to do whatever it takes. Combine this with great product market fit and what you have is a truly amazing company which will the iconic company of this decade. I believe that Uber will be bigger than Facebook and Google and will touch people's life all around the world.

Cons

There is technical debt on account of growing so fast. There is a lot more work that needs to be done on the infrastructure side.

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.

Pros

This is an incredibly mission oriented fast placed environment. Everyone is so willing to help and no one shies away from hard problems. When fires come up (and it is a small startup so we have fires) everyone jumps on and solves the problems. Everyone feels a real passion for the mission and there is a true belief that we have an opportunity to build a better global transportation system.

Cons

It's a young company and a lot of the communication and process could be streamlined. It takes a lot of work to get up to speed and understand what is going on. There are a ton of things to work on and it can be hard to prioritize the most urgent work from good long term investments.
