Pros

It's a fast-paced environment with little oversight on your day-to-day work

Cons

Uber is about as toxic as it can get in terms of places to work. There's a macho, fratty atmosphere and everyone is expected to do battle for everything. You compete against your own teammates and are forced to be an aggressive to survive and climb the ranks. Even doing things that are ethically wrong are encouraged, so long as it's good for the business/growth.

Hi - thanks for taking the time to write up this review. While there’s no denying there have been challenges over the last few years, I’m confident we’re headed in the right direction when it comes to making Uber a better place to work for everyone. We’re working on major projects across the company -- from HR practices, manager training, leadership coaching, perks & benefits, our values, and so much more -- which in their sum will take Uber to the next level. I wanted to thank you for your time and contributions to Uber, and if you ever want to connect offline to discuss further, feel free to reach out - pierce@uber.com.

Pros

Uber's environment is like no other - both good and bad. There is no other company out there like it now in the valley and as they say, things are moving like a roller coaster. The platform is phenomenal and it will be exciting to see what directions the company takes. Great perks and awesome work spaces. Uber truly has the potential to be that dream job (but unfortunately they cannot fufill on critical aspect of what keep employees happy - see below).

Cons

The talent Uber is trying to bring on (and keep) requires the same in management, and in some instances this isn't the case. The really bad: Expect long work hours, an engineer-focused culture and total lack of HR boundaries (read: don't be surprised by management verbally abusing/insulting employees). Employees are not valued, management experience is questionable at best, and pay is below industry standard.

Thank you for being honest about your experience -- even thought it's not a perfect one. I'd like to dig in more about your experiences with leadership. If you'd like to provide me some specifics, I'd be happy to pass along feedback anonymously. We're always trying to improve and your feedback is invlauable in getting us there. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com
