Pros

Great very young and bright talents, but these guys are not the ones sitting on the "A" or "C" suites... Flexible working hours, but it also means, very late hours and weekends, if you are single great! If you have a family...forget it. Offer very competitive package for you to join = "never vested stocks", fair salary, fair benefits and some "considered cool" perks. Hiring team does make a great job for you to jump from whatever great job you have to "join Uber's mission" to change the world...

Cons

Turn over is about a year, a couple of months in, its easy to realize the brainwash and all reckless decisions; Senior Management are a bunch of "start ups" professionals; HR team is very weak and has no say at all on restructuring process. HR is not functional at all. No Voice and no brain. The same way they hire, launch in a city they dismiss people, very reckless.

If you'd be willing to chat offline, I'd love to dig in to specifics on some of the 'cons' you call out as it'd help us define what the core areas for improvement are.

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
