Pros: Amazing in-person experience! Uber provides all the necessary facilities for a wonderful work experience as far as internships are concerned.

Cons: I did not find any fault within the time period I was there.

Pros: - First software company I've worked for where friends/family immediately understand what you actually do. - Write code that lots of people actually use and pay for. This gives a real sense of satisfaction to see your work live in production. - Lots of worthwhile problems to solve. - Great location in SF.

Cons: From a coding standpoint, Uber is a weird mix of incredible sophistication and, shall we say, not so great code. From what I've seen, this is probably a function of startup-style code trying to get features out the door, the large number of engineers at the company and lack of bureaucracy (empowerment applies equally regardless of skill level), and the small team-oriented nature of the company built around services. While a service-oriented architecture scales well and has a myriad of benefits, what no one seems to talk about that I've witnessed firsthand is that isolated services don't necessarily get the influence of some of the technically strongest people. Some services are incredibly well-written; others will probably need to be rewritten before long. This has really been my one frustration with Uber. And to put my complaints in perspective, I'd at least say that problems like this should be seen as why Uber is trying to hire more great people to get in there and resolve those issues. I otherwise don't know how management could easily influence this in a better direction. Otherwise, things are run fairly well, I think, to the best of reasonable expectations.

Pros: I have experience working for three of the top software companies in the Bay Area and have recently started working for Uber. I joined Uber among a handful of different other offers. I was a little doubtful before starting but am more than happy about my decision after spending some time there. It is a great place to work with lots of opportunities to grow. It still has its startup culture, focusing on rapid development and growth and avoiding common bureaucracy at larger companies. Everyone is friendly and supportive, and you immediately feel like part of the family.

Cons: While its catered food quality is better than many of the other tech companies in the Bay Area, it can still be improved. Considering the fact that the company grew from a few employees to hundreds in a very short time, I am sure the problem will be taken care of soon. The variation and types of food catered are not that many, although the quality of the ingredients used is good.
