Pros

Smart people everywhere. Very collaborative environment where everyone is willing to support each other to achieve the company's goals. Higher than industry average focus on the company's goals rather than being team-centric. Feels like entities within the company where everyone is able to operate independent of bureaucracy to operate quickly, efficiently but help each other out. Company values appear to be very tangible rather than buzz words. Hit the ground running when arrived. Several projects down in the span of the first couple of months. Who needs 6 months to ramp up?! Will be excited to see what I've accomplished in a year from now at this speed! Free food and snacks A set number of Uber credits every month for UberEats and rides

Cons

Longer hours than average companies (hiring is quite aggressive to mitigate it) Dinner is served late (8:15pm) Stocks in lieu of 401k matching

Love that you call out areas like our company values and the fast-pace culture that we've been working hard to maintain. It's great to get positive feedback on those! With our growth there's so much work to be done, but make sure you're keeping a healthy balance between work and personal time - it's important. Keep up the good work!

Pros

Coworkers are great, some very inspiring people walking the halls. Lot's of nice collaboration. Folks really care about the company. I still truly believe in the mission with everything I have.

Cons

In the last 6-9 months the executive engineering leadership hiring has been really worrying. Lot's of bullying and scatterbrained direction. Reviews are a total blackbox - most times your manager doesn't even know why you got the rating you did. People are scared like I've never seen before.

Thanks for raising your concerns, they're important to hear. If you'd be willing, I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on the hiring bar and the reviews process. I'd be happy to talk offline and confidentially. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com
