Pros

Uber eats & Remote Work

Cons

Throughout my career, I've been through my fair share of workplace challenges, but nothing could prepare me for the sheer toxicity that permeates this company. From the top down, the lack of emotional intelligence and empathy is staggering. The executive-level leadership is condescending, dismissive, and clearly doesn't care about the well-being of their employees. The treatment of direct reports is appalling. They are constantly belittled and degraded in front of their colleagues. Middle management in the product team is more concerned with saving face than supporting their team. It's a culture of fear and intimidation. The co-founders are micromanagers, involving themselves in every decision, no matter how insignificant. This stifles innovation and growth, leaving little room for creativity or new ideas. The company's purported values are nothing but a joke. "Move fast and with intention" is just a fancy way of saying "produce quickly or get out." The high rates of burnout and depression are a direct result of this toxic environment, but many employees are too afraid to leave due to the job market. The median employee tenure of just 1.1 years speaks volumes about the state of the company. Managers are always on the lookout for weaknesses to exploit and use to make employees feel inadequate. In all honesty, I would not recommend this company to anyone. It's a nightmare to work here, and the toll it takes on your mental health is just not worth it.

Pros

Amazing culture and genuinely kind, smart people across teams. There’s a lot of opportunity to make a real impact and help build products that can truly help users save money and travel better. The work is ambitious, collaborative, and full of interesting problems to solve. Remote work flexibility and benefits are also excellent. Small perks like weekly Uber Eats credits, wellness and home office stipends, and education support make a big difference. I’ve also been lucky to work with supportive teammates and managers who advocate for their teams.

Cons

The environment is fast-paced and can be ambiguous at times. Priorities and scope shift often, and there can be periods of long hours depending on the project. Balancing business impact with user trust and user needs is also a real challenge, especially given some historical product decisions that the company has been working hard to improve. To their credit, I do believe there’s strong awareness internally and genuine effort from many teams to move things in a better direction, and it has improved significantly over time. Still, there’s more work to do. In a remote environment especially, learning to speak up and communicate proactively is important.

Pros

The benefits package is good, also they have "recharge days" which are some predetermined company-wide holidays.

Cons

As other reviewers mentioned, there is a culture of micromanagement that's extremely suffocating. Managers also seem as if they are trained to pressure their employees to "prove themselves" by doing things "beyond getting tasks done" and make you constantly feel insecure and inadequate by chasing vague performance goals. I say trained, because making you feel insecure about your performance was pretty common theme there. The constant stress, obsession for control and the resulting suffocation were just too much.
