Not worth it. - Safety Specialist Uber Employee Review

Pros

- Free Uber credits - Free lunches - Potential to make bank via stock options (although I hear new employees are getting shafted on that front)

Cons

- Due to all the bad press, you'll start avoiding telling new acquaintances where you work at cocktail parties. - No work-life balance—there's definitely a 24/7 "workhorse" culture. They expect you to drink the Kool-Aid and give up your life. - Poor management. Higher-ups don't care about their employees and just dictate unrealistic directives. At least that's how it is in Ops. - Back-breaking workload. You will be overwhelmed and you will feel utterly alone in your failures. There is no support system. - CEO full of hot air. Travis likes to emphasize a "best idea wins" policy. But that doesn't translate into reality. The folks who scream the loudest and step on others advance. There is no sense of teamwork.

I'm sorry you're having a negative experience here. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts on improving culture from you offline / face to face if you're willing to connect. Confidentially of course. Best, Andrew alevy@uber.com

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
