Thanks for the note. I just recently learned why dinner is served later in the evening. Many companies in the Bay Area provide lunch but not many do dinner as well. Uber doesn't want to have dinner be seen as an entitlement or "requirement" to attend. If you're working hard and late, they want to be sure you're fed. There's no expectation that everyone should be here for dinner, but it's nice to know it's there when you need it. Keep up the hard work, thanks for the honest review.

Pros

1) You get to solve interesting and meaningful problems 2) You work with very smart and friendly co-workers 3) You have high impacts and your code get deployed in production frequently 4) You are flexible on design decisions while you take ownership on projects

Cons

1) Code review and code style is not strongly enforced which sometimes can cause trouble or make it difficult to understand legacy code 2) Test in production culture -> there is no QA at Uber so everyone is QA. You are responsible for your own bug but many times people are not careful enough and cause outages in production 3) Technical debts 4) Sometimes people get fired simply because s/he isn't in good relationship with direct manager
