Great People, Great Product, But Like any Start-up, builds Structure while generating Chaos as it Grows - Community Operations Manager Uber Employee Review

- As with any other company, as it grows, political environment at work takes a toll on employees (if you're the loudest, you get farther) - Hit-and-miss with immediate managers-- you might get a manager who'll help you maximize your talents, but you'll also work with some who don't care about you except for their own interests - Long hours (well, this is a pro if you're a workaholic), so get ready to have your personal time confused with your work time - Great benefits (free lunch in almost any country where Uber's based at), but need to have higher base salaries for the amount of work you put into the company - You get promoted based on perception-- if you've done what your managers say despite being the wrong way to approach a project/task, then you'll go far-- Even if part of the culture is stepping on toes, once you start lobbying for what's right, if your co-workers don't like you, it's easy to get isolated from the rest - You have to build while on-the-fly-- if you're someone who has to think for a long time and assess a situation before you act on it (even if it's the right thing to do sometimes), don't bother applying. You won't fit in and a lot of people/projects will pass you by
