      High rates of burnout among engineering

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The product is great and it's nice that the company is doing so well. Fun and interesting coworkers

      Cons

      Lots of pressure, long hours (face-time is emphasized), little mentoring, conflict between management and team members, very hierarchical structure. Significant growing pains with the hyper-growth. Seems to be lots of burnout and many people feel trapped into just staying for their stock options.

      The most exciting environment I've ever worked in

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Startups love to talk about how they're 'killing it', even though usually they're just struggling to survive to their next round of funding. The focus on Uber isn't on 'killing it', everyone knows we're already doing that; we want to know what we can do to kill it faster. Compensation is extremely competitive, and includes something that no other company can offer: equity in one of the fastest growing companies in history. Even now, Uber is out of its infancy and continuing to double revenues every six months. Transparency within the company is a big part of our culture. There's a weekly meeting where anyone in the company can ask the CEO a question and get an honest/unfiltered response. You get to work with a lot of extremely talented people from a wide variety of backgrounds. I've met people at HQ from six different continents, and I'm currently the only male engineer on my team. Diversity is a common buzzword these days, but at a company as small and simultaneously global as Uber it's also a reality.

      Cons

      The company is growing extremely fast; sometimes there are more people than desks and working arrangements can get very... 'cozy'. With that growth comes lots of change, and you will feel very uncomfortable if you are used to being in a predictable environment. Work/life balance may be a deal breaker for some. We're trying to grow the team as fast as the number of problems we're facing is growing, but sometimes the latter outpaces the former and the days can get very long, but the work is usually still exiting. I've never been told to work on a weekend, but I have voluntarily spent a few at the office building something I wanted to make.

      Quality is job zero

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay. Ability to learn new technologies on company time. Quantity more important than quality. Lots of super-smart and industrious coworkers.

      Cons

      Quantity more important than quality - friends make jokes about the number of Uber app updates for bug fixes. Work environment. Travel arrangements-roommates? Nasty review system. Poor treatment of contract employees. Huge turnover.

      Thanks for this feedback. If you're willing to share more with me about some of your comments -- particularly work environment and the review system -- I'd be willing to listen. We're growing fast and always looking to improve. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com
