Pros

Uber's environment is like no other - both good and bad. There is no other company out there like it now in the valley and as they say, things are moving like a roller coaster. The platform is phenomenal and it will be exciting to see what directions the company takes. Great perks and awesome work spaces. Uber truly has the potential to be that dream job (but unfortunately they cannot fufill on critical aspect of what keep employees happy - see below).

Cons

The talent Uber is trying to bring on (and keep) requires the same in management, and in some instances this isn't the case. The really bad: Expect long work hours, an engineer-focused culture and total lack of HR boundaries (read: don't be surprised by management verbally abusing/insulting employees). Employees are not valued, management experience is questionable at best, and pay is below industry standard.

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
