Inspiring place to work

Pros

* Opportunity for impact. The per-capita impact for each engineer is higher than most other tech firms. At Uber, each engineer has a real impact to the company's bottom-line. This really drives the ownership culture and is inspiring to see. * Culture that promotes standing up for what you believe in. If you feel strongly about something, the company encourages you to voice your opinion, even if there's a large discrepancy in rank. At the end of the day, the right idea should win. * Exponential personal growth. The engineers who survive here will experience rapid growth in engineering abilities. I learned more in the first 6 months at Uber than I did in the previous 2 years at large tech behemoth. * Competitive compensation * Convenient perks - free food, monthly credits for Uber and UberEATS

Cons

* Longer than normal hours (compared to other SV firms like Google and Facebook). The longer hours aren't imposed. It's more like you feel inspired to build or improve something that you own. * Bad brand PR. Uber is one of the most villified tech companies. While most employees believe these opinions to be based on misinformation, it's demoralizing to know some people see Uber as the "bad guys".
