      Pros

      Great Brand name. Exposure to some great problems in the industry.

      Cons

      There is very little to learn. The company is full of new college grads who hardly know how to write maintainable code. The company has a very little sense of direction and believes in throwing money at every problem. The CEO believes that employee should at least put in 80 hrs/week. No work like balance.

      Pros

      Work with smart people in a challenging, fast paced, and fun environment - working here is life changing. The people I work with are now some of my closest friends. They are without a doubt some of the most passionate, brilliant, hard working individuals I have had a privilege to know. On top of they are people that I truly care about and feel truly care about me - everyone is rooting for one another to succeed. I could not imagine a company that has inspired me to learn more, be better, and push harder. I feel ownership over the work that I do and the growth that I see in the company. Everyday is a new experience, a new problem to solve, or a new question to answer. The work/life balance is challenging, but people have fun and have a sense of humor. People share interests, spend time together outside of the office, and celebrate hard work. We're obsessed with Uber - it's a requirement.

      Cons

      As much a pro as it is a con - there is a degree of uncertainty in working here. The company is changing fast and if you're not ready for it, you can get whiplash.

      Toxic environment

      Communications manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a fast-paced environment with little oversight on your day-to-day work

      Cons

      Uber is about as toxic as it can get in terms of places to work. There's a macho, fratty atmosphere and everyone is expected to do battle for everything. You compete against your own teammates and are forced to be an aggressive to survive and climb the ranks. Even doing things that are ethically wrong are encouraged, so long as it's good for the business/growth.

      Hi - thanks for taking the time to write up this review. While there’s no denying there have been challenges over the last few years, I’m confident we’re headed in the right direction when it comes to making Uber a better place to work for everyone. We’re working on major projects across the company -- from HR practices, manager training, leadership coaching, perks & benefits, our values, and so much more -- which in their sum will take Uber to the next level. I wanted to thank you for your time and contributions to Uber, and if you ever want to connect offline to discuss further, feel free to reach out - pierce@uber.com.
