      Not Engaging or Fun! - Soucer/Recruiter Uber Employee Review

      Pros

      Not very much positive to say about working at Uber. Love the product, but hated working there.

      Cons

      It is a sweat shop. Leadership expects you to be in the office until 8-9pm. It is a micro-managed where you are simply a cog in the wheel. The work environment reminds me of a Busch League recruiting consultancy. I've seen many people in the Engineering and Recruiting department leave full time status w/ equity before their vesting cliff date, including myself. You know there are problems when the so called "sexiest" pre-ipo can't retain their top talent for more than 6-8 months.

      Hi - I'm sorry that you had less than an ideal experience in your time at Uber, it's disappointing that you have these feelings about working here. I see you've moved on to a new role, but I'd love to dig in deeper on what specifically we can do to make Uber a better place to work. If you're willing, please reach out directly and we can set up a time to chat: pierce@uber.com. Thanks for your review.

      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
