Pros

Hard to describe Uber as a startup anymore, but with the rate we're growing there are still many opportunities to define your role and work on super exciting projects. Execs have done a good job defining product and keeping engineering growth on track. Biggest challenges are with scaling!

Cons

Not everyone has a great work-life balance, but I've managed to avoid that trap. Definitely some growing pains, but we're on the right track.

Pros

This is a great company with a growth mindset with man opportunities for big learning and personal and team growth. Many great talented people work here and realize the mission. This isn't a 9-5 company, but a place where the top ideas really matter and great solutions are needed. Some of the positive characteristics: - top engineers - best solutions win - lots of humor - big equity potential - amazing challenges (scaling, growth)

Cons

- location of office (subjective) - work is too much fun here (balance)

Pros

As a software engineer, there are a limitless number of different things to work on, and I'm working with a lot of other very excited and smart people..the best. Huge opportunity to learn and grow professionally as the company continues to hire more people. Equity compensation is very compelling, too good to say no. The executives are very transparent with regards to the company's performance. Free breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, plus tons of fresh fruit and snacks.

Cons

We are growing so fast, meaning code evolves just as fast. It feels a little overwhelming, but it's exciting to make a personal goal to grow to be able to keep up. While I've never been asked to stay more than 40hrs/week, there is a strong vibe to work long hours and I've had to reconsider how I spend my non-work hours to be more efficient (maybe that's a good thing?). Not enough uber swag, I have to pay for my hoodie???
