Pros

Lots of smart and young engineers to work with. But the working environment is competitive instead of collaborative. You need to be very aggressive and good at stepping on other's shoulder to move up.

Cons

Terrible culture and management team. No work life balance. Extremely long working hours and hard to get vacation days to recharge. You have to work even when you are sick.

Thanks for sending in this review. I'm not sure when you left the company but I'm confident that a lot of the change and action going on right now is improving the overall experience of working at Uber. Thanks again and best of luck in the next opportunity.

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
