Pros

Not a bad place to learn if you're junior and can duck below the politics.

Cons

Toxic culture that optimizes for growth at all costs, including the customer which for Uber is both riders and drivers. Unethical business practices. High pressure work environment, a lot of death marching in engineering.

I've had quite a different experience in my time here and I'm sorry you feel that way about the culture. I've noticed the good we do for cities, by creating opportunity for people who want to earn extra income by driving for Uber, and also by providing faster, cheaper, and more reliable transportation options for riders in cities all over the world. I'm curious about your experience in which you don't feel the same. If you're willing, let's chat offline to get feedback and ideas on how we can make Uber a better place to work. My email is pierce@uber.com. Thanks for the review.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
