      "Uber" job

      Pros

      Amazingly fast growing company, with more room to grow. Attracts good people and has locations across the globe. Startup mentality at the regional offices, with big company (hopefully) resources.

      Cons

      @ $40B, how much can you options really grow? It probably is great for the first group of employees, but I cannot imagine a new employee becoming an options millionaire.

      Pros

      After working for Uber for a couple of months now, I see that staggering difference between what Uber is perceived as and what it actually is. Filled with young, smart folks that want to see this amazing product be accessible to more and more people, it feels like folks on on a mission.

      Cons

      Sometimes there is a sense of being in a bubble, with folks working late night and not having a good work-life balance, creating a competitive environment that can be a bit overwhelming.

      In the early days of the company it was amazing, but it has devolved into a soulless mega-corp

      Pros

      Uber is jam packed with amazing talent. So many hard engineering problems, product problems, and finance problems. It's easy to learn a ton, and it's awesome to be a part of such an interesting company. I can say that I've met many fun, incredible people there, and I do believe Uber is making a tangible change in the world.

      Cons

      The company as it stands today is a pre-IPO slaughterhouse. Depending on what team you're on, or the luck of the draw, you will be guilted into working crazy hours. After all, everyone else does it, so why shouldn't you? You will be on-call 24 hours a day. You will be judged heavily by your "commitment to the company." You personal life is absolutely meaningless. Uber will need to be at the forefront of your mind at all hours of the day, and even in your dreams. TL;DR There is no work-life balance. You will burn out.
