Pros

The best thing about working here is the fact that you get to solve problems at a very large scale. Everything you do here is used by millions of people and pushed to performance limits.

Uber has a good onboarding process, including a week of training and weekly sessions that anyone can attend.

You get thrown into the fire quickly and will be asked to solve problems right from the start. This can be stressful at first.

Cons

You'll probably be asked to do things you have no idea how to do and will be expected to figure them out on your own. You need to be comfortable with putting yourself out there to find answers. You'll probably have a few late nights while getting up to speed.

Advice to Management

Upper management here is pretty open to suggestions, and they all sit in the open with everyone else, so they're very easy to approach. In my experience, they're open to suggestions also, which is a nice change from some companies I've been at.
