Pros

When I walk around the office, I often think to myself: "How lucky am I to be working at the most valuable and innovative startup in the world? I seriously can't believe I'm here."

  • Everyone is incredibly kind, passionate, and hardworking; people are always willing to answer your questions or help you when you need it.
  • You're working alongside the smartest engineers in the world and solving the toughest problems.
  • Amazing perks and benefits (we also have tech talks, Wellness Week, and special guest speakers).
  • Spectacular management.
  • The company makes sure that office politics and bureaucracy don't get in the way of innovation.
  • The performance review process is seamless and transparent.
  • It has employee resource groups (ERGs) that focus on diversity.
  • You can take ownership of projects and propose your own (your ideas get heard).
  • Projects are exciting and impactful.
  • Fun, fast-paced, high-energy culture.
Cons
  • Projects are often underscoped.
  • We're hiring/growing so fast that there are new faces in the office all the time, which makes it hard to recognize people.
  • The negative perception of the Uber brand on the outside makes it hard to get recognition for all the good things Uber does as a company.
