Pros

It was a fun collaborative team environment at first, high energy and they gave us a sense that we were going to be able to contribute to something great. We were encouraged to add the human element in our customer service communications and we felt appreciated. This company has alot of moxy and they can make tough decisions.

Cons

Like I said, it was a fun collaborative team environment at first, then they started to pull back on the responsibilities they first gave the customer service team members. They started adding unnecessary layers of micromanagers to the CSR Team, training began to get more mucky and then it happened. Next, they outsourced the CSR team to a temporary agency (we were employees of Uber at first) Outsourcing customer service to other countries. While I appreciate the moxy the company has, the management roles are given to people with no real experience in alot instances before they are given a team to lead. This can be good in ti infuse youth and energy into a organization but if you don't infuse some people with experience, wisdom and leadership you get a real unprofessional look on many levels of the business. Overall I learned alot about the company. I respected some things but overall I have a indifferent opinion of the company. Again they have some serious guts and they have to have that to be who they are and do what they do. But unfortunately the company has lost its soul, and way too quickly.

If you run into me in the halls, I promise to make eye contact. In fact, I'd love to grab coffee to discuss your experience and hear your thoughts on ways to improve the culture. Best, Andrew alevy@uber.com

Pros

My co-workers were awesome.

Cons

I had 5 different managers in the 2.5 yrs I was here. My last manager was the most toxic person I've ever encountered in my entire life. We were constantly encouraged to speak up against bully management and when I did, I was shown the door. This individual was not respectful of my mental health conditions and was downright insulting on a regular basis. I actually had started up a lawsuit against him and was told that my proof of his conduct wasn't admissible in court, which does not negate his guilt. After leaving I learned that he continued to bully his subordinates without consequence and was also rated the worst manager in IT just after he was promoted after being on the team for only 6 months. I was turned down for promotion multiple times due to the fact that I never had a manager who paid attention or cared about what I was doing. If my work didn't put this person on a stage, it wasn't important to him. He became buddies with the HR rep and that's when he made it all about me and said that I was the problem. I stood up against blatant disrespect and abuse and I was forced out. This culture hasn't changed, it's reality is just shoved under the rug.
