I knew the job would pay fairly, but had no idea it would also become my dream job

Pros

Very friendly coworkers and a trusting company culture with lots of opportunities to take advantage of. The stars have aligned: I like my manager and his style, I like the team I'm on, and I like the work that we're doing within the Uber Advanced Technology Group. My manager is very flexible and emphasizes the balance of life and work.

Cons

Lots of freedom and a relaxed pace often means lots of time for an insecure recent college grad to think they're under-performing.

Thanks for the review, awesome to hear you're enjoying your time working at ATG! The projects you're working on are an integral part of our future. I appreciate the feedback as well. The idea for a mentorship program is one we hear a lot and is something the P&P team is exploring as part of the work being done to improve the nUber experience. Thanks for the input, much more to come!

Pros

Company is growing fast. Lots of technical challenges. Less of legacy baggage.

Cons

Politics. Too much of it. Left the company within a year since I could not handle the continuous nepotism, criticism etc of work. We are expected to work like crazy and anyone who does anything other than work is frowned upon. No work life balance. Not worth joining now that the upside is also not much. Recruiters talk trash of Uber being a $500 B company in the future. I would be surprised if they even sustain their current valuation.
