Worst company to join

Pros

The reason I was attracted was its startup market. Each region has relative autonomy, so there's a good degree of breathing space. I also liked the company's overall vision.

Cons

They treat their employees like they treat their drivers: subservient. I've never interviewed somewhere where I actually felt like the interviewers were against me. I should have taken that as a red flag, but I joined anyways and quit a month later.

Pros

Casual workplace, paid healthcare, Uber credit and other perks. Most importantly, it's a great product.

Cons

Terrible managers and bad office politics. Managers receive little to no training and it shows in their inability to handle leading teams. It's somewhat reminiscent of middle school - lots of backbiting and gossip, bordering on sabotage. Very unprofessional environment, bordering on toxic.

Thank you for your honest review. We've launched manager feedback surveys to identify areas for training. I'd like to connect with you offline if you're willing to get some more insights into your experience. Best, Andrew, alevy@uber.com

Pros

good pay, great schedule, easy work

Cons

They brought on 100's of Manilla CSRs but fired 1/2 of the US work from home team. Not cool. Questions having to do with pay, contract, etc. are ignored both privately and in meetings that are supposed to be able to ask anything. Nothing is standardized, the partners are clueless and frustrated and most of the WFH US team is looking for other work.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I've passed along your comments about lack of communication to the CSR leadership. Regarding the changes in workforce, Uber is indeed evolving it's strategy and structure around customer support/service representatives. We're continually launching new products which means our customer support environment is more complex. To address the complexity, we're building centers of excellence (COEs) around the globe (included the US) to better serve the customer on support issues. With any change, it takes time to train and for everything to settle in. If you have more feedback on how we can improve CSR work at Uber, please don't hesistate to reach out to me. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com
