Pros

* Very capable and knowledgeable colleagues, opportunities to learn from them * Twice a year performance reviews, where you can apply for promotion, concrete requirements for each level * Above average pay and benefits

Cons

* RTO is taking place, remote positions are being eliminated * Big tech bureaucracy and culture: slowish decision-making, you'll have to be your corporate self instead of your real self most of the time * In a few instances, people might not be as friendly as you'd expect, you will most likely come across this at some point at Uber (compared to other companies I've worked for, where this never happens) * Not the best work/life balance

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
