Pros

- Good Health Insurance (Dental, Vision) - Credits for rides/EATS; unfortunately they no longer offer the $333 to new employees. Those who started after 1/2016 only receive 15 free rides a month (max ~$18 each, but depends on the city in which you work)

Cons

- People Ops / Employee Relations (HR) is comprised of completely incompetent personnel. Dunderheads. Probably not everyone in the department, but definitely the ones I have unfortunately had to deal with during my time here. Fairly certain they have little to no knowledge of labor laws and employment standards; I have never felt confident in any answer they've provided me or my coworkers. Further, there have been multiple instances in which I, or other coworkers, have reported serious issues/concerns (e.g. harassment, privacy issues, among other serious workplace violations), and not once did People Ops investigate the incident(s), nor provide actionable follow-up. MOAR lawsuits just waiting to happen :( - Despite the fact that two of our 'Cultural Values' encourage an anti-bureaucratic workplace, UBER has quickly become an insanely bureaucratic company with a completely superfluous management hierarchy and redundancies through various levels of management in nearly every department, making it difficult to get anything done.

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
