Pros

I have gotten the opportunity to make real world impact. I like that about Uber. Most companies are worried about the next social opportunity, but here at Uber we are helping shape the future.

Cons

In some parts of the company people feel pressured to work extremely long hours, and I even feel that pressure sometimes. I think this happens because there is pressure put on by management or senior engineers to get things done, because everything is "critical". My team does a pretty good job of this and I feel like I have a great work/life balance though.

Pros

- Cultural values are practical and solution oriented - Everyone is encouraged to be aggressive - Hands off environment where no one tells you what to work on. You tell a story of why your work is impactful, and whoever delivers most impact rises.

Cons

- Need a better reward policies to make sure employees are also focused on long-term impact. - If you're not mature enough, do not join.

Pros

Free uber riders per month

Cons

- Lengthy interview process (recruiters are lazy to reply). - During recruitment you will hear things like we are very flat management , start-up culture, we value talent, etc. But in practise when you join and if you want to change your team then Its quite the opposite. They really don't care about talent and YOU are just another use and throw resource for the company - Fake career promises - Recruiters as well as team managers are trained to lie and deceit on every stage - Extremely poor relocation support - You cannot unleash your potential or talent when it comes to programming, company bureaucracy, policies and hierarchy overtakes everything. - Only few limited teams have the pleasure to do some cool stuff.

Thanks for writing up this review. I'm sorry you had less than an ideal experience in your time here, and I see you've moved on to another opportunity, but I'd love to dig into specifics you point out in your cons as they're points we haven't heard before. We consistently hear in internal and external employee feedback that employees' potential and impact is greater at Uber than any place they've worked before, so it's surprising to see the opposite in your review. If you'd be willing, please reach out and we can set up a time to chat confidentially. Thanks again for taking the time - pierce@uber.com.
