Was great, grew too fast, and became Google-like

Pros

Many very smart, motivated people to work with on big problems; if you're on the right team. A very fast pace of change. Nice, albeit overly-flashy, facilities. The best-run IT department I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Cons

Many of the best engineers have moved on due to the chaotic work environment and management favoritism toward those creating new things, rather than successfully implementing or running things. Middle management is not supportive in any way. Managers will find and latch onto your flaws, using them as justification to keep you from receiving raises, or promotions. Several teams are traps, existing only to provide their manager with headcount, and struggle to find a purpose. There is next to no coaching, and no training. Teamwork is not valued, only delivering new things. New employees receive terrible credit benefits. The catered meals are a trap. There is a pattern to there not being enough seats at any of the cafeterias, so lunch must be taken at your desk, while dinner isn't served until 8:15pm.

Thanks for the thorough review, your candor is appreciated. A few things you mention in your cons are key areas we're working on improving in the P&P org right now. Namely, revamping the Perf process and improving manager training/support are two of the immediate priorities for our org. I'm optimistic our new leadership is making the right moves to make Uber a better place to work for everyone, now and in the many years to come.

Pros

Free catered meals, autonomy, laid back structure

Cons

No communication, although they claim meritocracy they do not practice it, information is either tough to find or non-existent, hard word and dedication not appreciated or recognized

I'm sorry you've had less than an ideal experience in your time here - I'm curious about the things you bring up and how we can improve them. I've seen strong examples of meritocracy during my time, and by rolling out tools like the Instant Feedback program I think Uber's done a lot to invest in recognition and reward for great work. If you'd be willing, feel free to reach out and we can dig in confidentially: pierce@uber.com. Thanks for the review.
