      Pros

      The engineers are brilliant. Everyone on the tech side is great to work with. The product is exceptional. It's fun to perform research on a product that's going to be a part of everyday life someday. The company provides generous food and travel accommodations. I love the company's mission. The founders are very inspirational.

      Cons

      Management is pathetic. Those on the management side lack the experience and education necessary to deliver on company goals! This company is at the forefront of cutting edge technology, but this technology will never make it to market with inexperienced, improperly educated, lazy, irresponsible hippie management like we have now.

      It's awesome to see everything the Pittsburgh team is working on, keep up the great work! I appreciate the review and feedback, and while the pros you call out like brilliant coworkers, amazing product, and inspirational founders are promising, it seems like there are challenges with management within your particular org. If you'd be willing, I'd love to chat confidentially about things we can do to make working at Uber better for everyone. Feel free to reach out, and thanks again for the review - pierce@uber.com.

      Definitely agree the coworkers and the pace of work is a major pro to work here. As we scale up I think a lot of the cons you call out will improve, specifically infrastructure and the long hours. I do want to encourage you to have an open conversation with your manager about your needs from a work/life balance perspective, as it's important to have the time off to recharge when you need it. Thanks for the review!

      Pros

      Free uber riders per month

      Cons

      - Lengthy interview process (recruiters are lazy to reply). - During recruitment you will hear things like we are very flat management , start-up culture, we value talent, etc. But in practise when you join and if you want to change your team then Its quite the opposite. They really don't care about talent and YOU are just another use and throw resource for the company - Fake career promises - Recruiters as well as team managers are trained to lie and deceit on every stage - Extremely poor relocation support - You cannot unleash your potential or talent when it comes to programming, company bureaucracy, policies and hierarchy overtakes everything. - Only few limited teams have the pleasure to do some cool stuff.

      Thanks for writing up this review. I'm sorry you had less than an ideal experience in your time here, and I see you've moved on to another opportunity, but I'd love to dig into specifics you point out in your cons as they're points we haven't heard before. We consistently hear in internal and external employee feedback that employees' potential and impact is greater at Uber than any place they've worked before, so it's surprising to see the opposite in your review. If you'd be willing, please reach out and we can set up a time to chat confidentially. Thanks again for taking the time - pierce@uber.com.
