Pros

Working with self-motivated individuals that come together for a greater purpose. Everyone you meet will amaze you with their knowledge and it's crazy how 95% of the time, you'd be friends with them outside of work.

Cons

As Uber is still in its startup phase, processes are constantly changing and not everyone is aligned all the time internationally, so working with different cities can be a little challenging. But it will get better as we continue growing.

You're spot on - great coworkers you get along with during and after work makes being at Uber great. We're getting better at cross-office communication as we grow and I'm confident we'll continue to improve. Thanks for the review!

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
