Pros

- Ownership: I have more than 13years of experience in the tech industry and I have never been in a company which that much ownership. I can really feel that I'm the owner of the product I work on and I have lot of freedom to influence the roadmap. - Real impact on customer's life (and more broadly on society) : The impact on customers and cities are real. I can feel it on a day to day basis. - World wide company: All the feature we work on are though through an international perspective. - Super great opportunity to relocate within Uber to another city or country.

Cons

- All the infrastructure layer are done internally. We don't use any of the cloud public offering like AWS or Azure. Not sure how this will scale in the future. - Lack some structure and process around scrum management and more generally around engineering and management.

Thanks for the review! It's great to hear you're enjoying your time at Uber -- I especially like how you call out ownership, global presence, and real-world impact. We hear that feedback consistently and believe it makes Uber a very unique place to work. Thanks again and keep up the great work in Seattle.

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
