Uber

Uber has some of the best tooling in the industry for engineers. It's extremely engineer-centric; as an engineer, you're definitely a first-class citizen at Uber.

Great snacks, ride credits, and free rides to/from Caltrain and after 10 p.m. are top-of-the-line perks. Catered lunches and dinners (although only if you stay until 8:15 p.m.).

HUGE growth; it's common to see your team double every six months.

Ever-increasing scope/expectations and constantly fluctuating priorities are not something I'd expect at a company that size. I sat at four desks in my first month, and it took me two months to get my first meeting with one of my managers.

It's not uncommon to have actual "do this or leave" situations, mostly ending with people attempting the task and then being asked to leave. High-stress situations like these lead to mistrust between employees and paranoia.
