Pros

I strongly believe in the company's mission. While other top tech companies are all competing to steal your time, Uber is giving you the time back by getting you, things, or food from point A to point B as fast as possible.

Almost everyone I know uses our products, and it feels great to know how it works internally and to be able to influence its future.

There are a lot of interesting challenges with plenty of opportunities to have impact.

It's a great team.

Cons

Uber receives a lot of attention in the news. When it's not positive, it can be discouraging.

Advice to Management

I've seen the talent bar falling lower recently. This is discouraging.

I would recommend management to watch that closely and make sure the low performers are first offered help to improve, but if that doesn't work, let them go. Otherwise, the strong engineers will be demotivated and will leave.
