Pros

Great products; Uber car services, UberEats, etc. A company bringing convenience and filling a need for society. The ex-team are visionaries and highly skilled and proven innovators.

Cons

Middle management in the corp offices do not have proper oversight over spending, hiring, and personnel management and many put into a management role have no experience in managing staff and it propagates because their manager has no experience managing either. HR is basically nonexistent. They really only have Recruiters. Growth and change is too fast and frequent that it's difficult to get stability. There is bias and preferential treatment among some groups. Work/life balance is a huge struggle, typical of a fast growing company but amplified at Uber 10 fold. Was the worst work experience of my 25+ career.

Thanks for taking the time to write up this review, I see you've moved on to a new chapter but I appreciate your feedback. It seems like a lot of what you call out is a product of our growth; as we scale up, there are have been improvements made in the programs and processes you call out as well as lots more coming soon. One example is the rollout of the Uber Manager Experience (UME), a new 7-part training series for managers. Additionally, we wrapped up our latest Culture Survey a few weeks ago and there have been strong, actionable plans that have come from all of the input, so I think we're making progress there as well. Thanks again for the review and if you'd like to dive deeper into areas for improvement, feel free to reach out - pierce@uber.com.

Pros

Work from home. Fairly flexible schedules. Lots of great remote coworkers to connect with.

Cons

Training does not fully prepare you for your job. Managers are mostly not in touch with their teams. Often feels like you are on your own to figure everything out.

Pros

$333 Uber credits per month (though it is a taxable part of salary) and food delivered to office for lunch

Cons

The company does not support a healthy work life balance. You are expected to be available 24/7 by phone and email even on holidays, while you are travelling, or are at home sick.
