Pros

In my recent job search, I had offers from Uber and Facebook, and I went with Uber. I'm glad I did, because the growth here is crazy! You are working in a very interesting problem space, and you are also surrounded by some really smart people.

Also, a lot of people here have prior experience at other top tech companies in the area, so it's great to bring the best practices from each of those companies together.

Cons

Coming from a string of smaller companies, it's a bit of overhead learning how to navigate a big company and finding the right person to ask questions to.

Things move very fast here, so it may feel less structured at times.

The food isn't as high quality as at other tech companies, but it's still decent. And there are lots of snacks.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. Keep hiring to reduce the workload on each person; we can use the help. Keep the strong culture.
