Pros

As a new grad, I am given the opportunity to learn a ton and work on cool things that impact user's and other employees throughout the company. I feel like my work does have an impact on the company as a whole. I never have felt like I have been treated like a "junior" engineer. The culture at Uber is pretty awesome. It's very social, we have kegs in the office, and there are quite a few social events, so it's pretty fun.

Cons

Since you work on things that matter, when you break something, you have to fix it. Not really a big problem, as I believe engineers should be responsible for fixing things the break, but I've had to kill a few Saturdays fixing a mistake I made on Friday.

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
