Thanks for the note. I just recently learned why dinner is served later in the evening. Many companies in the Bay Area provide lunch but not many do dinner as well. Uber doesn't want to have dinner be seen as an entitlement or "requirement" to attend. If you're working hard and late, they want to be sure you're fed. There's no expectation that everyone should be here for dinner, but it's nice to know it's there when you need it. Keep up the hard work, thanks for the honest review.

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
