Pros: Still has a feel of a growing company within. A lot of young and energetic people.

Cons: You want to stay late yourself, and it's very easy to do so. Dinner (with beer) is served, and towels and showers are in the building.

Pros: - Strong engineering managers. From what I've seen on the money team, managers here have a good business sense and also understand the value of giving engineers the freedom to create. I love how my boss is watching over my progress as an engineer and helping get blockers out of my way. - Plenty of challenging problems. Uber is growing fast and the business inherently is technically challenging from an engineering perspective because it interfaces with so many things in the real world (cars, people, restaurants, partners, etc.). - Flexible schedule. I've heard the "long hours" line a couple times, but I definitely do not feel that. I do 9 to 5 basically (or more like 10 to 6), so no more than 8 hours per day, and I've never felt pressure to do more. If you get sh*t done, that's all they care about.

Cons: Dealing with systems that have not adapted to Uber's growth. Uber has grown so fast that many of the systems are starting to look hacked together. As an engineer that values simple architecture, it could be painful at times.

Pros: Good pay. Good people. Interesting challenges.

Cons: Work-life balance. Too much unrelated work. Promotion-driven engineering.
