Uber Reviews

Pros

good and hyped environment, friendly

Cons

office hours, high expectation to meet

Pros

Great benefits, Flexible hours and a Great office

Cons

No stability in management - new people come in and change things and fire entire departments No clarity on career progression

Advice to Management

The Brand and benefits to employees will only get you so far. Focus on stability and nurturing your people

Pros

Generally a smart bunch of co-workers & managers. You get the sense that people generally want to do their work well and are objective-driven hence not much drama - which is perfect for me. Managers generally do not micro-manage (which is great!) but like any tech companies, if you gotta do the work and meet deadlines, you gotta do it, be it on your paid time off or not. Great welfare. Free breakfast and... lunch and heaps of fancy drinks and snacks. Non-negotiable compensation policy -> double-edged sword but works well for me. HR experience was stellar. The recruiter was prompt in relaying the interview results (usually within the same day) and what was absolutely helpful was when she brought up both the 'what i have done well' and 'what could have been better' so that I could work on the 'what could have been better' for my next round of interview. Appreciate that greatly.

Cons

No consolidated channel for internal tools, comms, knowledge of all fields, request access so you need to slowly figure out where to get what, which channel reflects the most up-to-date info and who to talk to. Heaps of time wasted on trial and error due to the lack of clear documentation (if there's any for some) Worrying roles that seemingly overlap. You'll like it here if you are an independent worker who... requires minimal guidance.

Advice to Management

While I am happy to be working for Uber, I do acknowledge that most of my frustrations stem from not knowing where and how to get whatever I need, be it tools, info, access, current processes and that takes up a huge chunk of my time. As the company grows, it will be absolutely critical to focus on a more effective approach or channel for employees to both upload and download resources across functions and... regions.

Pros

A genuine focus on inclusion and diversity with a real bias towards action. A fast-paced environment that ensures every day is totally different.

Cons

Some policies need to be reviewed and revised - trust your staff to do the right thing.

Advice to Management

Empower new managers/leaders to drive positive culture and focus on inclusion as an opportunity, both from a people perspective and from a commercial one!

Pros

Daily breakfast & lunch provided New office space Regional exposure Performance driven culture Attractive RSU Many training options and opportunities Regular & open communications. Weekly global all hands with live questions answered by CEO & team.

Cons

Re-organization in Uber is common. Nothing is permanent here. Job security seems not very high. Contractual staff are treated very differently in Uber. They have no access to many information and will usually not be invited for events.

Pros

Good staff benefits and welfare

Cons

Messy, unstructured, no concern for operational staff

Pros

Company treats employees well

Cons

Unstructured environment and poor career progression

Pros

The company cares for your personal well being a lot more than you would care for yourself. Fast moving company with daily challenges. Keeps you thinking and moving.

Cons

As the company grows bigger, more administrative procedures to be done in order to make changes.

Advice to Management

Continue with the good work on ensuring inclusion of everyone in the workplace.
