Vantaggi

- Work with some very brilliant people. - Opportunity to learn a lot about software design, data analytics, marketing, biz dev etc. - Center of attention at cocktail parties since you are working at the hottest company in the world.

Svantaggi

- Ultra-aggressive deadlines, cumbersome processes, and huge workload. - Daily firing (stack ranking and constantly letting "bottom performers" go) - Terrible place for new grads as there are no grace periods to ramp up or learn. Many let go after just two months. - Offers no longer competitive with many established companies when one considers the misleading nature of the preferred share prices. - Incredible amounts of politics (company culture encourages back-stabbing amongst colleagues) - Company lies to recruits (stating huge bonuses, using preferred share prices to calculate equity compensation, promises for quick promotion, etc). - Bad food with dinner served at 8:15. - Firing people right before their stock vest cliff. - Equity won't be liquid for a long time, if ever. - Highly stressful environment.

Thanks for taking the time to write up this review. I'm sorry you've had less than an ideal experience at Uber and I appreciate the specific feedback you've provided. I'd love to set up a confidential conversation to chat about specific actions we can take as a company to make Uber a better place to work. If you're willing, I'd really appreciate it. Please reach out, and thanks again: pierce@uber.com.

Vantaggi

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Svantaggi

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
