Pros

my engineering team has an excellent technical level. I'm learning a lot. We have great discussions. Lots to do too, and many opportunities to do super high-impact work. At a macro level, we are doing something important and valuable - taking cars off the roads, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, enabling passengers with more transportation options.

Cons

uber is one of the most scrutinized companies in the world. it's also a very convenient villain, and misconceptions abound. Politicians get exposure by opposing uber, and some find there is more to gain by doing so than by serving the interest of their constituents. This can be frustrating. My internal (and informed!) view of uber is very different from what i can read about it.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
