Pros

My opinion is taken seriously even as a newbie. Lots of new technology. Relaxed environment. Not micromanaged. Many open source projects.

Cons

Sometimes feel a bit lost with all the technologies. Many teams assign us bug reports without adequate information.

Pros

I joined Uber right after graduating form university and so far, I think it's an awesome place to start a career. I'm often surprised by the responsibility and autonomy that I have as a New Grad. I love that I always feel like I don't know enough as that's constantly pushed me to learn more things more quickly and I can definitely see how this has helped me grow faster than my friends who graduated at the same time.

Cons

Uber's a really controversial company and while we know internally that we try to do the right thing, the world often doesn't see it that way. It can be really exhausting to constantly see your company portrayed negatively in the media. It also becomes a bit exhausting to explain the situation to your friends and family. This exhaustion can sometimes be felt at the office. Additionally, while Uber's tried quite hard to keep itself transparent, the speed at which the company moves can leave you feeling like you don't know what's happening in your own company. And at the moment, there aren't enough company-wide events that help alleviate this.

Thanks so much for the thorough review and feedback. It's great to hear you're enjoying your time at Uber. We hear quite often that the amount our employees learn is far greater than at other companies, so it's great to see you mention that. Thanks for the feedback on feeling like a small company and improving transparency across the organization. While I feel like that has improved lately (especially in the last 3+ months), I agree we can always get better. I've passed that feedback on internally. Thanks again - keep up the great work.
