Pros

It's a fast-paced environment with little oversight on your day-to-day work

Cons

Uber is about as toxic as it can get in terms of places to work. There's a macho, fratty atmosphere and everyone is expected to do battle for everything. You compete against your own teammates and are forced to be an aggressive to survive and climb the ranks. Even doing things that are ethically wrong are encouraged, so long as it's good for the business/growth.

Hi - thanks for taking the time to write up this review. While there’s no denying there have been challenges over the last few years, I’m confident we’re headed in the right direction when it comes to making Uber a better place to work for everyone. We’re working on major projects across the company -- from HR practices, manager training, leadership coaching, perks & benefits, our values, and so much more -- which in their sum will take Uber to the next level. I wanted to thank you for your time and contributions to Uber, and if you ever want to connect offline to discuss further, feel free to reach out - pierce@uber.com.

Pros

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

Cons

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
