Pros: Culture
Company mission
Development tools and infrastructure
Management
Cons: Communication tools. Some messaging tools are buggy, and most conversations happen in email threads, which is not always the best way for communication, in my opinion.
The "excitement" level of the tasks and projects depends very much on the team. From the other side, it is very typical for big companies like this.
3.0
A challenging place for engineers

Pros: - The company is still growing fast and has lots of potential in areas like auto-driving cars.
- There are always new projects to work on. Most of the time, it is hard to decide what to work on next since there are so many choices.
Cons: Organizational direction changes constantly. Uber seems to have a good vision about the long-term mission, but down to specific projects in the engineering department, chaos is present all over the place.
Politics and internal friction are increasing as company culture somehow encourages aggressiveness. You need to know how to fight for yourself, even if you are just an engineer.

Lots of opportunities for learning and growing

Pros: Uber is definitely still innovating. Although there are a few players in this space already, the problems these companies are solving are fairly new. Having said that, Uber innovates every day and they don't think twice before adopting a new technology or changing their current methods. People are very smart and are always willing to work extra to make Uber a better platform.
Cons: What I have seen is people are pretty work-oriented and don't really communicate much as a team (except for work-related topics).
Meetings are generally quiet and only talk about work and nothing else. Nobody shares their personal stories or experiences.
It feels strictly like work!
I can't really tell if it's the same always because I have only started working after COVID and have been WFH since the beginning. But I think general communication is important to build confidence and trust among team members.
