Pros

Lot of good ICs around. Depending on the team, you can build and learn a lot. You can related to the mission of the company. Large business potential. Good benefits like food, health insurance etc

Cons

Doesn't feel like tech people are first class citizens, more like a PM centered place. Lot of incompetent senior manager and directors with limited prior experience promoted because of playing politics. This has become clear during recent turmoils: not many true leaders, but tons of people who call themselves leader. Recent changes feel like meritocracy has been replaced by a bunch of people on the top serving kool-aid on a regular base.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. One major program underway right now is to improve our manager training through programs like UME and Flagship. Feedback has been really positive and they're being expanded and rolled out further over the coming months. If you ever want to dig in deeper on way we can make Uber better for everyone, feel free to reach out - pierce@uber.com.

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
