Pros

• Amazing, smart, fun coworkers • You can be creative in terms of how you go about your job • Meritocracy for the most part • Organized and efficient overall • You can work from anywhere... you have a home base office but if you're traveling, you can work from that Uber office. They don't care what you do as long as you get your work done. • Hipchat makes it easy to stay in touch with colleagues all over the country

Cons

• Very stressful • Long hours • You work evenings, weekends, and holidays • Constant metrics-based evaluation means you're always thinking about the next thing • Hard to wait on stuff from the Design team, which is at HQ so if you're in an office that's not there, you feel like you're blind and dependent on them

Thanks for this feedback, I see that you've left the company but I'm going to bring this review to the attention of HR. It's got some great insights into remote work / satellite offices. -Andrew

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
