Pros

Uber's application process is extremely rigorous, but once hired you find out why. I've never been around more driven, capable people in my life. There's an incredible feeling of teamwork and shared commitment that permeates everything we do. If you're willing to work hard, "step on toes," and be creative, Uber will empower you with all the responsibility you can handle. The perks are great—catered lunch, tons of snacks / drinks, happy hours, education, etc.

Cons

It's not a 9-5 job—very much an "all hands on deck" culture. If you're not ready to fight for what you believe in, the environment could overwhelm you.

Thanks for the honest review! I'm going to editorialize a bit on "step on toes" for the people who are reading this. "Stepping on toes" is an internal cultural value that essentially means "speak up" or "make your case." We want to encourage employees to respectfully argue for the best and biggest ideas. Stepping on toes means not being afraid to contradict a superior or even the CEO.

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
