Awesome company with insanely great values-that are actually put into action

Business Outlook

Pros

I have gotten the opportunity to make real world impact. I like that about Uber. Most companies are worried about the next social opportunity, but here at Uber we are helping shape the future.

Cons

In some parts of the company people feel pressured to work extremely long hours, and I even feel that pressure sometimes. I think this happens because there is pressure put on by management or senior engineers to get things done, because everything is "critical". My team does a pretty good job of this and I feel like I have a great work/life balance though.

Pros

- Cultural values are practical and solution oriented - Everyone is encouraged to be aggressive - Hands off environment where no one tells you what to work on. You tell a story of why your work is impactful, and whoever delivers most impact rises.

Cons

- Need a better reward policies to make sure employees are also focused on long-term impact. - If you're not mature enough, do not join.
