Pros
I got none - other than it being a known, successful company
Kontras
To make the company happy, you must live and breathe Uber. You must make Uber the priority in your life. - expectations are unreasonable. No one ever gets to exceed expectations in performance reviews, and they will tell you that (there goes a motivation factor) - you get no recognition, no matter how well you do - yet another point the company is very vocal about - company politics are nothing like I've ever seen - your performance review may read: You did not work more than 40-50 hours/week, Uber is not a 9-5. If your review lists this and nothing more that's 'negative', you will not have 'met' expectations - expectations are not laid out and you won't know what they are until your review. Hired for A - expected to do H. - favoritism and nepotism is big - while females and parents get hired, if they want to keep their family a priority, they will struggle - comments of sexist nature or against people with disabilities get swept under the rug. - you cannot voice your concerns (in a professional and respectful manner). No matter how you spin it, you are complaining. When you talk to management about a problem you need help with, you are expected to keep it quiet and come up with a solution yourself. Bringing it up (no matter how big), will shift the focus on you and you will be the problem for speaking up. - it's more about how many hours you are at the office, rather then the quality of your work (i.e. 40 hrs of quality work < 60 hrs of mediocre work) - pay and equity is low for the time that's expected of you (well under market). - very aggressive and negative company culture
