Pros: - Good engineers - Good managers - Good leadership - Good work - Good impact

Cons: Nothing specific to mention from my side.

Pros: - Fast-paced culture - Very interesting engineering challenges (100x cluster size increase in 2 years!) - Freedom to work on interesting projects - Scale of data we deal with is really huge (on the same league as Google/Facebook/Amazon) - Flexible hours (you are measured by output, not effort) - Hockey stick growth company (even at $70B) - Chance to be part of a really world-changing company - Chance to impact the lives and livelihoods of real people - Very nice people (yes, really) Just before I joined earlier this year, I was very skeptical about Uber given all the negative things I had read in the press. After I joined, I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that none of that is true. Now I am sure there were isolated bad incidents in the past which should have been handled differently. But the vast majority of the people here are just nice people!

Cons: A tiny bit disorganized, which is understandable given the speed at which we are growing.

Pros: Many good people to have fun with. Some engineers are very skilled.

Cons: Internal politics ruins morale. Some of the teams are led by tech leads and managers who are not professional and stay in Uber only because of strong connections with similar higher-level managers. If you are hired by such a team, you are stuck: internal transfers are allowed only on the same level and after a year in one team – you cannot grow by moving between teams.
