Pros

Great people (so many people that you'll make great friends with) Good benefits (free uber credits, top of the line health insurance) Most of all of the other great perks like free food, game room, sales floor banter were only because the office, which we all work from home now and no one wants to go back to the new office

Cons

If this was 2018-2019, I'd say there is no cons, but since 2020 there has been so many cons that greatly out weight the pros. The reason why uber freight has so many open positions right now is because everyone is leaving and for good reasons. So beware before you apply: - TERRIBLE pay compared to other tech companies - Job is really only good if you're a new grad - No commission even though you're in a sales position (you have to wait until the end of the year to MAYBE get a good bonus) - Like any startup there are constant changes in quota and job responsibilities due to inexperienced upper management - Promos are unheard of ever since we went public - You could work your tail off but still only just receive a pat on the back - Tenured and high performing reps are treated poorly and given no promo or incentive to try harder - Unorganized

Pros

-Free food (Although practically inedible) -Great place to be bullied -Excellent at driving someone to depression -Opportunity to become hated on a mass scale because of one manager - Endless career opportunities for a select few! All fantastic perks

Cons

Management needs a complete reshuffle, managers are hired based on friendships and inner circles. No real structure to the company whatsoever, no internal reporting or feedback (don’t ask don’t tell). Ridiculously depressed staff with no support, good for people just out of college, uber prides itself on feeling like a secondary school. Originally worked in a department that was “being reshuffled”, they shipped the entire department to another country and Expected us to relocate to other departments, lots of people were using it as a way to progress careers, promises of pay raises, promotions and genuine progression made and hen taken away. My first manager didn’t take to me straight away and made it there mission to make my life hell, even after I had moved departments to a new manager

Pros

Monthly under credits, great health insurance

Cons

Your experience here really depends on what team and department you are a part of. If you're looking at marketing roles, look elsewhere. Morale is completely trashed after multiple rounds of layoffs. Many of the people left are the ones who are good at playing politics, while high performers were let go. There's no rhyme or reason for the current roles that people have, because this company has the perception that anyone can do marketing and that it requires no real skill. Creativity and accuracy are not prioritized -- just take a look at Uber Eats ads: filled with nonsensical copy, misidentifying foods, etc. And lastly, if you are a woman, you will constantly be mansplained to by men who don't have your expertise, talked over in meetings, and picked apart much more than your male counterparts. I understand this can happen to an extent everywhere, but after working in several companies, this is the worst I have experienced.
