Pros

- A lot of startups claim to be changing the world. Uber actually helps people in 300+ cities earn an income and get around. It doesn't get higher impact than that. - Great engineering. Uber is pushing the boundaries of what dynamically typed, interpreted languages can do. It also picked up Node and Go when they were still very new and is now a leader in both. - Many problems the company faces can only be solved by a combination of technology and people. For example, how can we help concert-goers get to and from Coachella? The solution involved both product and operations teams. Even as an engineer I'm learning a lot about business just by following what our city teams and leadership do.

Cons

Uber faces stiff competition in Asia. The company moves extremely face to get ahead, which means the work is more challenging than at your typical Silicon Valley tech company.

Pros

When I walk around the office, I often think to myself: "How lucky am I to be working at the most valuable and innovative startup in the world? I seriously can't believe I'm here." + everyone is incredibly kind, passionate, and hardworking; people are always willing to answer your questions / help you when you need it + you're working alongside the smartest engineers in the WORLD and solving the toughest problems + amazing perks/benefits (we also have tech talks, Wellness Week, special guest speakers) + spectacular management + the company makes sure that office politics/bureaucracy don't get in the way of innovation + performance review process is seamless and transparent + has employee resource groups (ERGs) that focus on diversity + you can take ownership of projects and propose your own (your ideas get heard) + projects are exciting and impactful + fun, fast-paced, high-energy culture

Cons

- projects are often underscoped - we're hiring/growing so fast that there are new faces in the office all the time (makes it hard to recognize people) - negative perception of Uber brand on the outside makes it hard to get recognition for all the good things Uber does as a company :(
