You asked for potential problems, it's a potential not a actual.
When u have to explain a joke it ceases to be funny 😈
It's a fantastic company. The problems you'll solve in backend engineering and distributed systems. It is truly amazing. You won't get boring tasks, you'll get actual work that will be impactful. There is a lot of algorithms as well, especially on some of the core teams that you could get in. People here are very smart, a lot of experienced people from Google and Facebook. You can't go wrong here for learning potential and reputation. Uber is a top company.
I’ve heard drivers aren’t so excited

How fast is your team moving?
At the same speed at which they're burning their cash
Been here two weeks — it is fantastic. No negatives so far. Best part is how friendly everybody is.
I love it here. Obviously like any company you have to find the right team, but there are many good ones. Best of luck!
Any good teams to suggest?
lol fuck that. working in tech is already bad enough without an above average concentration of awful ethically bankrupt koolaid drinkers for co-workers
Uber is the best company I have worked at so far. It highly depends on your team though (just like everywhere else)
What teams are the best?
Marketplace == High Impact
You really get those feel-good vibes wading through the protestors on your way into the building.
dramatic
They're mostly organized by Taxi unions. I took a trip from SFO to my home in the Peninsula and the cab driver charged me $275. I ended up paying it and not arguing bc we had just been on a 17 hour flight and my three young children and wife were in tow and I didn't want any drama. Never again. Uber has price transparency, safety, and nice drivers (otherwise they get bad ratings and get kicked off our platform). If that is causing protests, then that is a good thing. Fuck the Taxi mafia
We run out of money
Wait. What? Why? How do you know?
Lyft?
