Pros

There are lots of very interesting engineering problems to solve and engineers are given the bandwidth to tackle these problems, and to do so in a fast-paced environment. Not a lot of bureaucracy and the bit that does exist is easy to navigate. Work life balance is good and the culture is solid. Working with lots of brilliant folks, and engineering training, means Uber is a great place to grow as an engineer.

Cons

Working long hours and the associated stress of completing a project on a tight deadline.

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
