Pros

- uber credits!! (ubering everyday to and from work very convenient) - working for a reputable company

Cons

though working for a 'reputable' company sounds great, too many cons which have unfortunately made me quickly feel very differently of the organization. - emphasis on "hustle" and "drive" -- yet don't see it performed - I'm sorry but either no lunch break or a rushed 20-30 minute lunch break in what can become a 12 hour day is totally unacceptable and most importantly against the law (surprisingly, everyone just accepted this and put up with it). - daily abuse from drivers can seriously be demotivating and drive your moral to the ground. it's difficult facing drivers everyday when you yourself can't do anything to assist them - continuous changing of procedures, when one thing is already explained to us so badly and a new concept is introduced it just snowballs into a big mess - marketing techniques felt downright unethical and wrong. - no camaraderie amongst the staff, very clicky as if I was in high-school again. too many young people with little experience in a real work atmosphere. - for a tech company, basic things always causing daily issues, simple things like having no wifi, system down..etc.

Pros

good pay, great schedule, easy work

Cons

They brought on 100's of Manilla CSRs but fired 1/2 of the US work from home team. Not cool. Questions having to do with pay, contract, etc. are ignored both privately and in meetings that are supposed to be able to ask anything. Nothing is standardized, the partners are clueless and frustrated and most of the WFH US team is looking for other work.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I've passed along your comments about lack of communication to the CSR leadership. Regarding the changes in workforce, Uber is indeed evolving it's strategy and structure around customer support/service representatives. We're continually launching new products which means our customer support environment is more complex. To address the complexity, we're building centers of excellence (COEs) around the globe (included the US) to better serve the customer on support issues. With any change, it takes time to train and for everything to settle in. If you have more feedback on how we can improve CSR work at Uber, please don't hesistate to reach out to me. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com

Pros

Lots of smart and young engineers to work with. But the working environment is competitive instead of collaborative. You need to be very aggressive and good at stepping on other's shoulder to move up.

Cons

Terrible culture and management team. No work life balance. Extremely long working hours and hard to get vacation days to recharge. You have to work even when you are sick.

Thanks for sending in this review. I'm not sure when you left the company but I'm confident that a lot of the change and action going on right now is improving the overall experience of working at Uber. Thanks again and best of luck in the next opportunity.
