Pros

Fun, fast-paced company Work with incredibly smart people Free food!

Cons

Unlimited vacation days are offered as a benefit, but looked down on when you take them. The wrong people are placed in management roles. The company doesn't actually care about their people. Management promises one thing, and turns around and does something completely different. Their excuse is always "that's Uber".

I'm sorry you're having a less than ideal experience at work. I'd like to hear more about your situation (anonymously if you would like). I can assure you we do care about our people and making Uber an amazing place to grow your career and skills -- that's why I'm here reading, responding and taking action on nearly every comment. If you want to reach out to me to chat 1x1 on specific and how we can improve, I'd be happy to do so! -Andrew, alevy@uber.com

Pros

I've had a very positive experience working here. Since my first day, I've been challenged to step outside my comfort zone and do my best, but I've also always felt heard and supported. I've been trusted to make decisions, take ownership of my work, and contribute in meaningful ways, which made me feel like a valued part of the team from the beginning. The pace is definitely fast, but that's something I really enjoyed. It pushed me to learn something new almost every day and kept the work interesting and rewarding. The people are another reason I've enjoyed working here. I've had the opportunity to work with incredibly talented, collaborative teammates who genuinely support each other. When everyone is willing to help and bring their best, it's amazing how much the team can accomplish together.

Cons

The fast pace isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy solving challenging problems, learning continuously, and taking ownership, you'll likely thrive here.

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
