In my recent job search, I had offers from Uber and Facebook and I went with Uber. I'm glad I did, because the growth here is crazy! You are working in a very interesting problem space and you are also surrounded by some really smart people. Also a lot of people here have prior experience at other top tech companies in the area so it's great to bring the best practices from each of those companies together.
Cons
Coming from a string of smaller companies, it's a bit of overhead learning how to navigate a big company and finding the right person to ask questions to.
Things move very fast here, so it may feel less structured at times.
The food isn't as high quality as at other tech companies, but still decent. And there's lots of snacks.

You're absolutely right that we're moving at a fast pace, and it's needed to keep up with our growth. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work!
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
