Pros

- Unlike some of the other good engineering shops, Uber gives you a chance to develop something from ground up. Uber is still scaling its engineering team, tooling, processes, etc. So there is endless opportunity to pick up something and run with it and making things easier for the next set of Engineers. - Engineering culture is very merit based. Very little gets in the way of you building something new. - The company is very open to change. It is pleasantly surprising how much I was able to change and influence as an Engineer in my first few months.

Cons

- If you come from another big company, you will miss the tooling, infra, etc as it is still under development at Uber

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
