Uber Work Experiences

Great, Fast-Growing Company

Software Engineer • Current Employee

San Francisco, California, United States

October 27, 2014

Pros: - Smart people - Fast pace - Great leadership - Awesome benefits - Tightly knit teams/company Working for a company that is driven by a vision that every employee shares makes working a pleasure. People here work hard and are great at getting things done. It also helps that we all use our application multiple times a week so we understand the product that we're building.

Cons: - As a company that is growing exponentially (global reach and its personnel), we're constantly faced with new challenges in scaling people and processes. Although handling growing pains is well executed, it requires constant communication that sometimes isn't perfectly executed. - You'll be pushed to work hard and get a lot done. If you can't keep up with the work, it will impact your work-life balance.

Training Good, Burnout Bad

L&D Manager • Former Employee

Pros: Invest in training and upskilling employees.

Cons: They treat burnout like a badge of honor. If you’re not double-booked in meetings, you’re not doing your job. Very unorganized from all the restructuring, and the middle leadership is very hit or miss for how effective they are.
