Pros

I have so much freedom to be creative and iterate and have felt like I'm contributing to something big from day 1. Hiring philosophy seems to be playing out really well. Every person I've worked with has been smart, helpful, kind and hardworking. Unlimited PTO that is approached appropriately. Most people I work with have taken or plan to take several weeks off the grid this year. My colleagues are very encouraging about recharging and taking time off when desired/needed.

Cons

The only thing I can think of is the new Uber credit system for employees, which isn't great. I don't think it was thought through very well before being implemented.

I've learned a lot, but the leadership is immature and lacking and the environment is relentless

Pros

Opportunity to build and work with flexibility. There are generally a lot of hardworking, scrappy and well meaning employees that want to collaborate and get things done.

Cons

Work life balance in not valued; uber does not acknowledge or value an employee's life outside of work and churns through employees

Thank you for this feedback and your review. You may have noticed a new Culture Survey that recently went out. This was designed to take a regular pulse of Uber and pinpoint areas that we can improve upon. You rightly point out that recharging after work has scored low here. I'd love to hear more about how you'd like to see this improve! Ideas welcome -- Andrew, alevy@uber.com

Truly Unlike Any Other Company You Could Work For

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing and unprecedented growth as a company which requires you to be able to scale in your own role, but also challenges you to continue innovating to solve for our biggest business challenges and continue moving Uber forward in how we are thinking about disrupting and reimagining the world's transportation.

Cons

If you are uncomfortable with working hard, moving at a fast pace, scaling in your own role, and with being a builder then it would not be the right place for you. However, if you enjoy building and contributing to the business in a very impactful and thoughtful way, then there are interesting problems to solve and work to be done with an amazingly smart and motivated group of people.
