Pros

Staff is hungry and energetic. New realm of possibilities. Not to many pros besides those. Sorry GlassDoor. Hard to make this part at least 20 words.

Cons

Where to start. At the beginning the passion was dripping from every corner because of the idea that this company was trying to fix a broken system (transportation, logistics). That lasted a couple of months. Uber is in all purposes smoke and mirrors. For example all these posts that your reading. Guess what, they are all lies. Uber created them. How do I know? That was our job, to manufacture fake reviews. We had other duties but was told to fit this task between projects. Why do you think my former CEO has a 91% approval rating. It's laughable. It should be near 40% and that's being generous. Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Virginia Rometty, those are great CEO's. Travis Kalanick, Jeff Bezos, the late Steve Jobs. These indivisuals exploit thier most common resourse, the worker. All they care about is the bottom line. Its all about the money. I cant't be part of such a reckless, immature, self centered company. I wouldn't even be a customer. Why would I want any of my hard earned money to go into the pockets of a handful of careless individuals. Because trust me when I tell you that the drivers and my former colleagues do not get compensated very well. The drivers actually net zero profit for what they have to endure. Ever wonder why it cost $9 to go to the airport. Of course you dont because its cheap. Well you should because that driver is probably only making a $1.25 profit off that trip. We are all in this together. We shouldn't be taking advantage of others. But this is our society. Pay $12 for a drink but God forbid your commute home is more the $5.

Pros

High standards, but high devotion as well. They're committed to my success as much as they are their own. And man...the workplace perks are a huge plus. Feels like I'm working towards a better future for myself and my city.

Cons

No 401k match. I get it, they want you to invest in the company, but I'd rather have more retirement than snacks and catered food. Probably a minority opinion but still notable.

Pros

Coworkers are great, some very inspiring people walking the halls. Lot's of nice collaboration. Folks really care about the company. I still truly believe in the mission with everything I have.

Cons

In the last 6-9 months the executive engineering leadership hiring has been really worrying. Lot's of bullying and scatterbrained direction. Reviews are a total blackbox - most times your manager doesn't even know why you got the rating you did. People are scared like I've never seen before.

Thanks for raising your concerns, they're important to hear. If you'd be willing, I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on the hiring bar and the reviews process. I'd be happy to talk offline and confidentially. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com
