Pros: - Work with some very brilliant people. - Opportunity to learn a lot about software design, data analytics, marketing, biz dev, etc. - Center of attention at cocktail parties since you are working at the hottest company in the world.

Cons: Ultra-aggressive deadlines, cumbersome processes, and huge workload. Daily firing (stack ranking and constantly letting "bottom performers" go). Terrible place for new grads as there are no grace periods to ramp up or learn. Many are let go after just two months. Offers are no longer competitive with many established companies when one considers the misleading nature of the preferred share prices. Incredible amounts of politics (company culture encourages back-stabbing amongst colleagues). Company lies to recruits (stating huge bonuses, using preferred share prices to calculate equity compensation, promises for quick promotion, etc.). Bad food with dinner served at 8:15. Firing people right before their stock vest cliff. Equity won't be liquid for a long time, if ever. Highly stressful environment.

Pros: The food is not bad.

Cons: Rampant sexual harassment and a wildly disorganized duplication of work, along with conflicting goals at every level of the organization.

Pros: Working at Uber is really fulfilling. We work on hard and interesting problems. The company is extremely flat, so everyone has a voice and can bring ideas to execute on. Every single employee is smart and extremely passionate about the business, which makes the work environment amazingly motivating and energizing. It offers amazing career opportunities for everyone. Free Uber and other perks are also nice, obviously.

Cons: This is the fastest growing company, ever. So, obviously, being in that hyper-growth phase, you need to work a lot of hours, but I've seen worse.
