Pros

I got none - other than it being a known, successful company

Cons

To make the company happy, you must live and breathe Uber. You must make Uber the priority in your life. - expectations are unreasonable. No one ever gets to exceed expectations in performance reviews, and they will tell you that (there goes a motivation factor) - you get no recognition, no matter how well you do - yet another point the company is very vocal about - company politics are nothing like I've ever seen - your performance review may read: You did not work more than 40-50 hours/week, Uber is not a 9-5. If your review lists this and nothing more that's 'negative', you will not have 'met' expectations - expectations are not laid out and you won't know what they are until your review. Hired for A - expected to do H. - favoritism and nepotism is big - while females and parents get hired, if they want to keep their family a priority, they will struggle - comments of sexist nature or against people with disabilities get swept under the rug. - you cannot voice your concerns (in a professional and respectful manner). No matter how you spin it, you are complaining. When you talk to management about a problem you need help with, you are expected to keep it quiet and come up with a solution yourself. Bringing it up (no matter how big), will shift the focus on you and you will be the problem for speaking up. - it's more about how many hours you are at the office, rather then the quality of your work (i.e. 40 hrs of quality work < 60 hrs of mediocre work) - pay and equity is low for the time that's expected of you (well under market). - very aggressive and negative company culture

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
