Uber reviews

Uber's application process is extremely rigorous, but once hired you find out why. I've never been around more driven, capable people in my life. There's an incredible feeling of teamwork and shared commitment that permeates everything we do. If you're willing to work hard, "step on toes," and be creative, Uber will empower you with all the responsibility you can handle. The perks are great—catered lunch, tons of snacks / drinks, happy hours, education, etc.

The biggest pro is that even as Uber grows as a company, it remains an organization run by owners at every level. As an owner, I'm entrusted, enabled, and empowered to drive the business forward in the best way I see fit. I don't have to wait for rounds and rounds of alignment. This means I can just be be a creative problem solver and don't have to worry about what happens if an idea fails. The goal is to test something out and pivot from there. If something works, great! Go deeper and scale! If not, great! We've learned something that enhances our understanding of the business and can be more effective going forward. There's no time to worry about posturing or how things are perceived. The people in my office (like every other office) only help to reinforce that culture. I've got a built in support network that is always willing to drop what they are doing to help me achieve my goal. No one has ever said "that's not my job" because we are all owners. Oh, and it doesn't hurt to be at a company that is literally changing the world. I've never felt such a purpose to the work I get to do. Whether I'm seeing tears of joy in the eyes of a newly onboarded driver partner whose live Uber is changing or an initiative I've created that scales to the rest of the company in no time flat, it's easy to jump out of bed in the morning. I used to be in the Corporate America rat race and only wish I joined Uber sooner. The best part is while Uber has already had such an impact, I truly believe the biggest impacts are still to come. That makes the work only increasingly important and interesting.
