Pros

**Smart People** Smart People solving complex problems

Cons

**Culture** The culture at Uber is not healthy. Its move fast and only about results at all cost. The impact on our customers or employees does not matter. There has been much in the news about **Career Growth** There is no career growth or logical career path. You are working to work and hoping that the equity would be worth something someday. There are re-orgs every 3 - 6 months which force you to learn new skill sets. **Management** First time managers are a huge problem with no training. Upper management does not care about the individual employees, all they care about is the business. **Compensation** Equity that has a 4 year vesting window and minimal cash. Do not expect to be liquid for a while

Thanks for taking the time to write up this review and for the well-organized feedback. If you'd be willing, I'd like to set up some time with you to chat anonymously about specific actions we can take to address the areas you call out as cons. I'm confident we'll improve them as we scale and grow as a company, but if you have specific ideas, it'd be great to connect. Feel free to reach out and I can set up a time to talk: pierce@uber.com.

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
