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

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
