Pros

Gut fürs CV (momentan noch)

Kontras

Kein Leben, keine dezente Arbeit, kein gutes Team, kein gutes Gehalt. Was man als Marketing Manager macht ist noch nicht mal richtiges Marketing. Es gilt eher shine als do - alle wollen zeigen wie toll die sind, aber keiner macht eigentlich wirklich was.

Rat an das Management

Richtige Leute anstellen wär ein gute Anfang...

Pros

1) Uber is without doubt a great product. 2) Furthermore its fast pace environment isn't rivaled in terms of speed by many companies. 3) Additionally, some colleagues (notably at GM level) were among the smartest and most interesting people I ever worked with. Uber's extreme growth over the past years poses, however, also several challenges (see below)

Kontras

Overall Uber was a mixed experience and in the hindsight I regret joining them. The main reason being the very negative corporate culture and the poor people management skills of its top management. 1) Uber is severely understaffed and desperately tries to get people in all areas - and it notably lacks good leaders. Traditionally Uber promotes purely based on operational results. Unfortunately, the best managers... aren't necessarily the best leaders. My direct manager specifically was one of the worst people managers I've ever encountered throughout my career (although he apparently did bring in good results in his past role). 2) Uber had to hire so fast that building a sustainable corporate culture hasn't been much of a priority. Uber naturally would argue otherwise not add a Mary of fact for anyone who had worked for a top company before (be it consulting, FMCG or tech) will be heavily disappointed by the lack of common spirit in the company. Some call Uber's culture toxic. I would rather consider that it lacks one altogether. 2) Feedback is super unstructured. I personally am a strong believer that feedback is one of the best ways to learn and improve on a daily basis. Unfortunately, although Uber has a very extensive bi-annual feedback procedure it's not a very helpful one. Additionally, in my case my direct manager couldn't have cared less about providing feedback, even going as far as stating "please do not ask me again for feedback outside the formal process". That's an absolute no.go. 3) Since feedback is unstructured, also performance reviews are very intransparent. The bonus (which makes a significant part of the salary) is distributed solely by the direct manager and does not necessarily have to be linked to the targets, since they are anyway moving all the time. That's a problem since it skews the bonus payments towards people who have been around the longest and is biased against new comers. 4) Good leaders leave the company, the bad ones stay. Uber has seen an unbelievable amount of fluctuation in the past 12 months, both forced (= firing) as well us voluntary. On average a new hire only spends less than 2 years with Uber (that's significantly lower that with other Tech companies, such as Google, notably for senior positions). Additionally, people who leave very often have one thing in common: They are looking back with mixed and negative feelings. That's extremely sad, considering the fact that Uber is the only one of my previous employers I cannot warmly recommend to my network. 5) Poor learning and development for General Managers. Most GMs are recruited from within. The few that come from outside, very often do not last long. The main reason is that Uber looks any sort of training and development for external people. And also Uber's new manager training is rather a joke compared to the state of the art L&D programs of other companies.

Rat an das Management

1) Higher focus on recruiting good people managers. 2) Completely revamp the feedback process. 3) Develop a way how to integrate external managers (otherwise, Uber is just spending a lot of money on recruitment and then burning its talent super fast.

Pros

Great opportunities and lot to learn. Enjoying every day experience in Uber and being part of great Uber culture everyday.

Kontras

None so far as dont get time to think about it. #SuperUberFun

Rat an das Management

Keep up the great work going!

Pros

I love the fact I can choose my own hours and help people who don't drive or need food delivered

Kontras

Tax paperwork like what, how and when to report them are difficult to understand. I use a service like Intuit or QuickBooks but you could contact H &R Block depending on what you can afford.

Rat an das Management

Drivers and Clients need to have more localized and faster resolution help lines like how many companies have such as a Bank.

Pros

Benefits, people, atmosphere, career opportunities.

Kontras

Work life balance. People in management roles who don't deserve it (Some, not all)

Rat an das Management

Allow for employees to work from home if need be. Sometimes life outside of Uber happens, and having that flexibility allows us to be less stressed out and be thankful for the opportunity we have. Isn't that why we have laptops and mobile phones?
