Pros: I have gotten the opportunity to make a real-world impact. I like that about Uber. Most companies are worried about the next social opportunity, but here at Uber, we are helping shape the future.

Cons: In some parts of the company, people feel pressured to work extremely long hours, and I even feel that pressure sometimes. I think this happens because there is pressure put on by management or senior engineers to get things done, because everything is "critical". My team does a pretty good job of this, and I feel like I have a great work/life balance, though.

Pros: Uber has been the first place that I've worked wherein I actually use computer science and can't solve problems by copying and pasting things from Stack Overflow.

Cons: Work/life balance isn't the best unless you're fine being best friends with your workmates. There are a lot of growing pains, though scaling at a mind-boggling rate is an interesting problem in its own right.

Pros: Free Uber rides per month

Cons: - Lengthy interview process (recruiters are lazy to reply). - During recruitment, you will hear things like, "We are very flat management," "start-up culture," and "We value talent." But in practice, when you join and want to change your team, it's quite the opposite. They really don't care about talent, and you are just another use-and-throw resource for the company. - Fake career promises. - Recruiters, as well as team managers, are trained to lie and deceive at every stage. - Extremely poor relocation support. - You cannot unleash your potential or talent when it comes to programming; company bureaucracy, policies, and hierarchy overtake everything. - Only a few limited teams have the pleasure of doing some cool stuff.
