Pluspunten

Lots of growth, plenty of work to be done, if you can handle the culture.

Minpunten

Working 60+ hour weeks is normal here, engineers also work weekends frequently. It's hard to get leave for more than a week (even though it's supposed to be unlimited). There's a culture of sexism and sexist jokes which seems to be tolerated by senior engineers and management. Lots of engineering problems - system failures, downtime, lots of on-call work and stress, cost cutting is pretty rampant too, it's hard to get the things you need to do your job and you have to work with limited resources. The pay is also much lower than you can get at other companies. If you want high stress, low compensation then Uber is the place for you.

I'm sorry you're having this experience. As with many hyper growth companies, it's true that the work can be hard the and hours long at times . It's important to recharge and take time when you need it. Be sure to be honest about your needs with your manager manager to figure out a plan for vacation. I'm concerned that you've have felt a culture of sexism and sexist jokes at work. I'd like you to reach out to me and talk 1x1 about your experience. I'm happy to keep your concerns confidential but wanted to ensure that you can discuss these as well as for us to take actions to address. -Andrew, alevy@uber.com

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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
