Uber reviews

- Absolutely no work-life balance. Do you value your time outside of work? Then don't work here. They literally tell you "this is not a 9-5 job, this is a lifestyle." - Also don't work here if you: have kids, are a woman, are a minority, or have opinions that conflict with upper management. - Overall, the company is poorly managed. Uber is filled with former consultants who have never worked long-term for previous companies before. This leads to people with egos telling you they don't have egos, you just have to work exactly the way they want you to work and be available literally 24 hours a day or you are a poor performer. - Toxic working environment. People backstab each other, take credit for each other's work, and generally don't care about their coworkers. They do anything to get ahead. - Expect to have more working experience than your manager since most managers at Uber are first-timers with little to no experience in their vertical. - As others have said, this is definitely not a people first company. You will be repeatedly asked "is this good for you or is this good for Uber?" This can be a culture shock if you've worked for other tech companies in the Valley. - Comp is honestly laughable. Expect to take a pay cut or be called greedy.

It is a sweat shop. Leadership expects you to be in the office until 8-9pm. It is a micro-managed where you are simply a cog in the wheel. The work environment reminds me of a Busch League recruiting consultancy. I've seen many people in the Engineering and Recruiting department leave full time status w/ equity before their vesting cliff date, including myself. You know there are problems when the so called "sexiest" pre-ipo can't retain their top talent for more than 6-8 months.
