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.

Advice to Management

Sometimes, personal feelings get in the way of being logical about who is doing a great job. This shows in performance reviews. When the brightest and best engineers on the team don't get great reviews, I wonder what is going on. Aside from that, I think you are doing a fantastic job. You are some of the smartest people I've gotten the opportunity to work with.
