      great place for learning and growth; playground for builders and hackers

      Pros

      Hypergrowth company with deeply rooted startup culture. Things are rolling fast. Both builders and hackers are valued here. Innovations and experimentations are greatly encouraged. Mistakes and failures are embraced as long as you learn from it. The leadership is strong. There are many interesting challenging technical problems to solve. How many companies out there are tackling all these areas including real time infrastructure, logistics, big data, machine learning geomatic engineering, mobile development?

      Cons

      Hours are long, but thankfully they make it fun.

      High rates of burnout among engineering

      Pros

      The product is great and it's nice that the company is doing so well. Fun and interesting coworkers

      Cons

      Lots of pressure, long hours (face-time is emphasized), little mentoring, conflict between management and team members, very hierarchical structure. Significant growing pains with the hyper-growth. Seems to be lots of burnout and many people feel trapped into just staying for their stock options.

      Pros

      Uber has been the first place that I've worked wherein I actually use computer science and can't solve problems by copying and pasting things from stack overflow.

      Cons

      Work/life balance isn't the best unless you're fine being best friends with your workmates. There are a lot of growing pains, though scaling at a mind boggling rate is an interesting problem in its own right.
