Pros

Working at Uber has been, by far, the best move I've made for my career. The work environment is fast-paced, and each employee (engineer, designer, data scientist, etc.) moves quickly and efficiently to meet their goals. Everyone holds themselves and each other to a high standard, and this creates a culture of passion, commitment, and most importantly, collaboration. Uber's driven employees paired with the noble mission of making transportation as reliable as running water makes for an incredible work experience, and I'd highly recommend software engineers (among other roles) to apply.

Cons

Uber is a rapidly growing company, and as a result, the onboarding process could be streamlined a bit more. But otherwise, I don't have any complaints!

Pros

Smart people everywhere. Very collaborative environment where everyone is willing to support each other to achieve the company's goals. Higher than industry average focus on the company's goals rather than being team-centric. Feels like entities within the company where everyone is able to operate independent of bureaucracy to operate quickly, efficiently but help each other out. Company values appear to be very tangible rather than buzz words. Hit the ground running when arrived. Several projects down in the span of the first couple of months. Who needs 6 months to ramp up?! Will be excited to see what I've accomplished in a year from now at this speed! Free food and snacks A set number of Uber credits every month for UberEats and rides

Cons

Longer hours than average companies (hiring is quite aggressive to mitigate it) Dinner is served late (8:15pm) Stocks in lieu of 401k matching

Love that you call out areas like our company values and the fast-pace culture that we've been working hard to maintain. It's great to get positive feedback on those! With our growth there's so much work to be done, but make sure you're keeping a healthy balance between work and personal time - it's important. Keep up the good work!
