Pros: Despite intensive press coverage of the company (not always positive, as you might have noticed), from inside this is a very convenient and inspiring place to work. What I like: * Competitive compensation. I've been working at many places, and sometimes my employers played Scrooge McDuck on annual performance reviews (some of them are still searching for "replacement" all these years). At Uber, in contrast, I faced a reasonable attitude from the very beginning. We'll see how it goes. * Interesting "Uber-scale" projects. I feel I'm getting smarter with every month. Soon after joining the company, I found myself in the position of a fresh graduate on their first job (despite 10+ years of experience). Uber is growing rapidly, which in turn requires bleeding-edge technologies and approaches to be invented, implemented, and accepted. I'm in love with my profession, so working on large-scale projects makes me experience technological orgasm. * Reasonable level of management. As an engineer, I have initiative here. I don't need to discuss every single breath I make, though of course, I'm not completely free. * Friendly atmosphere inside the company. People are different, so one may face different characters and attitudes. Nevertheless, the general mood is friendly, and people are more or less relaxed.

Cons: - Workload is high. Plenty of challenging and demanding tasks. I'd say that work/life balance is shifted towards "work". - I'd prefer more spacious offices.

Pros: Amazing colleagues and office, great compensation package.

Cons: Big learning curve for internal tools

Pros: - Very good work-life balance since late 2017 - Perks - Nice people

Cons: - Food - Promo process too complicated
