Pros
Everyone is super smart and things get done very quickly.
Cons
Uber is an aggressive company - all that matters is results, no matter how you get there. Work 70 hours, step on toes, doesn't matter. There is NO training. If you're new, you have to figure everything out, and if you mess up, you get blamed. There is a common practice of firing people after 2 months if they can't figure things out or keep up. They do NOT give any warnings or feedback, even if you ask for it. Work-life balance is non-existent. I saw 3 people get fired after 2 months for "under-performance." None of them were told specifics except that they were "unfit" to be at Uber and today was their last day. No questions, and they couldn't even go back to collect their belongings. HR also didn't give any explanations other than they had to sign their packages and then immediately leave. The company does NOT care about its employees, only about winning. The culture is one of working too hard and being scared to leave before 6:30pm or doing personal things in case you get in trouble or someone rats you out.
