1) You get to solve interesting and meaningful problems
2) You work with very smart and friendly co-workers
3) You have high impacts and your code get deployed in production frequently
4) You are flexible on design decisions while you take ownership on projects
Kontras
1) Code review and code style is not strongly enforced which sometimes can cause trouble or make it difficult to understand legacy code
2) Test in production culture -> there is no QA at Uber so everyone is QA. You are responsible for your own bug but many times people are not careful enough and cause outages in production
3) Technical debts
4) Sometimes people get fired simply because s/he isn't in good relationship with direct manager

Thank you for taking the time to provide this great feedback. I've passed it along within the engineering. -Andrew
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

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
