Uber Work Experiences

The best company I have ever worked with

Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

New York, New York, United States

October 21, 2015

Pros: The best and the smartest people I have ever worked with. It was hard to leave my job to start a startup; I had great friends over there who helped too much.

Cons: The pace is too high (pros for many), but some people got overstressed because of the pace. This arises because of an expansion-oriented approach. For me, it turned out to be a healthy challenge which prepared me for my startup.
