Pros

Working at Uber has been awesome. It's a fast-paced environment where you're always on your toes to learn new things and implement the latest tech.

There's so much going on behind the scenes at Uber that your opportunities are endless. Oh, and there's working for a company where every new startup seems to be an "Uber" for something. It's exhilarating to be a part of this thing!

Cons

The insane growth comes with its downsides: Uber is no longer a scrappy startup where everybody knows everybody and you're all at least aware of what others are working on. Nowadays, it's taken on a bit more of a "corporate" feel with levels of management and computer policies. Uber has handled it pretty well, but it's a bit of a whirlwind to go from one to the other.

Advice to Management

Fight to keep the "small start-up" vibe. Value the experience of folks that have "gone the rounds" as much as "this person came from ". But most of all, keep kicking ass!
