Pros

Staff is hungry and energetic. New realm of possibilities. Not to many pros besides those. Sorry GlassDoor. Hard to make this part at least 20 words.

Cons

Where to start. At the beginning the passion was dripping from every corner because of the idea that this company was trying to fix a broken system (transportation, logistics). That lasted a couple of months. Uber is in all purposes smoke and mirrors. For example all these posts that your reading. Guess what, they are all lies. Uber created them. How do I know? That was our job, to manufacture fake reviews. We had other duties but was told to fit this task between projects. Why do you think my former CEO has a 91% approval rating. It's laughable. It should be near 40% and that's being generous. Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Virginia Rometty, those are great CEO's. Travis Kalanick, Jeff Bezos, the late Steve Jobs. These indivisuals exploit thier most common resourse, the worker. All they care about is the bottom line. Its all about the money. I cant't be part of such a reckless, immature, self centered company. I wouldn't even be a customer. Why would I want any of my hard earned money to go into the pockets of a handful of careless individuals. Because trust me when I tell you that the drivers and my former colleagues do not get compensated very well. The drivers actually net zero profit for what they have to endure. Ever wonder why it cost $9 to go to the airport. Of course you dont because its cheap. Well you should because that driver is probably only making a $1.25 profit off that trip. We are all in this together. We shouldn't be taking advantage of others. But this is our society. Pay $12 for a drink but God forbid your commute home is more the $5.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
