Great place to work, and becoming even better

Pros

My time at Uber has been very rewarding so far. - Great technical challenges, great work - Strong mission and real, large impact to society. Ambitious goals. - Lots of talented people here. - Move fast. Less bureaucracy - A good combination of startup speed and big company resources - Very good growth opportunities as the company grows.

Cons

- Sometimes move too fast, and expect more from you. Basically bad work-life balance. But they are trying to change this, so lets see. - Company is not cash heavy, not profitable -- so perks are good but not as good as some very profitable companies.

Thank you! I really like how you call out the impact every individual has here; that's one thing we know is unique to Uber and is what keeps me excited about coming to work every day. I definitely recommend having a conversation with your manager if your work-life balance is suffering. I've noticed it's improved significantly recently and it's important we all lead healthy lives. Thanks again for the review and all your hard work in SF!

Pros

Good company to be at. Smart people, bright ideas, great vision. Truly enjoyed working with the people from all layers (eng, design, PMs, analysts, etc)

Cons

Nervous and "toestepping" environment: people spend too much time on showing off in front of the management instead of doing real work. Too much of the career focus: your teammates can step on your head if you fall down :)

Choose your team and org carefully

Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing tech stack. Good challenges. Good product offering. Good tech infrastructure. Great energy and peers. Rapidly changing environment. Leadership is open to feedback and seems like they will act on it.

Cons

Lack of alignment in some orgs. Lots of re orgs. Not all Managers are fare. Favorites and friends benefit. Managers are not technical don't know enough about candidates and perf is in their hands as they represent you in calibration. Culture is more like deliveries over employees well being. You are expected to stretch indirectly through peer pressure. Highly competitive environment.

Thank you for the review and candid feedback. I like how you call out the product, tech, and openness of leadership. I think some of the cons you call out, like alignment & reorgs, are a sign of our rapid growth and will improve as we reach organizational scale, and in my experience have already improved dramatically over the last few months. If you'd ever like to connect offline to discuss ways we can improve Uber, feel free to reach out - pierce@uber.com. Thanks!
