Pluspunten

Potential to make an impact Smart, talented, passionate, hardworking people Interesting challenges and projects Good perks Moves fast Ability to learn a lot

Minpunten

The cultural values, which are you're measured against on performance reviews, are very biased towards the type-A personality that toe steps over colleagues to get recognized for work. Individuals accomplishments are recognized and rewarded--not team accomplishments. Teams work in silos--I've seen two teams build the same feature, and when they found out, instead of working together, they continued to launch two similar but separate features since they were already road mapped. Management is inexperienced, political, doesn't do much for their direct reports' development. You have to spend a lot of energy making yourself visible, being a toestepper or you'll be lost in the pack. Because of this "me first" ultra competitive environment, people don't often listen to each other within teams.

Making an impact, smart/passionate coworkers, and moving fast are a few of my favorite parts of working here as well, and are key factors that make working at Uber unique. We appreciate all of the feedback on areas we can improve, it's super useful to hear these. I think a few of your points, like working in silos and inexperienced management, is a product of the hypergrowth we're going through right now. We're rolling out management training and resources for new managers in the coming months to address some of these pain points. It's a big priority for us! If you want to dig deeper into ways we can improve working Uber, feel free to reach out: pierce@uber.com. Thanks!

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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
