Pros

Company is growing fast. Lots of technical challenges. Less of legacy baggage.

Cons

Politics. Too much of it. Left the company within a year since I could not handle the continuous nepotism, criticism etc of work. We are expected to work like crazy and anyone who does anything other than work is frowned upon. No work life balance. Not worth joining now that the upside is also not much. Recruiters talk trash of Uber being a $500 B company in the future. I would be surprised if they even sustain their current valuation.

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
