Pros

The company is growing fast.

There are lots of technical challenges.

There is less legacy baggage.

Cons

Politics. Too much of it. Left the company within a year since I could not handle the continuous nepotism, criticism, etc., of work. We are expected to work like crazy, and anyone who does anything other than work is frowned upon. No work-life balance. Not worth joining now that the upside is also not much.

Recruiters talk trash of Uber being a $500 billion company in the future. I would be surprised if they even sustain their current valuation.

Advice to Management

It's high time to cut the non-performing cities and businesses and focus on improving the business. Uber does not need to be the best everywhere in the world.
