Pros

- Smart people - Fast pace - Great leadership - Awesome benefits - Tightly knit teams/company Working for a company that is driven by a vision that every employee shares makes working a pleasure. People here work hard and are great at getting things done. It also helps that we all use our application multiple times a week so we understand the product that we're building.

Cons

- As a company that is growing exponentially (global reach and it's personnel), we're constantly faced with new challenges in scaling people and processes, and although handling growing pains is well executed, it requires constant communication that sometimes isn't perfectly executed. - You'll get pushed to work hard and get a lot done. If you can't keep up with the work, it will impact your work-life balance.

Pros

Make own hours Work as much as you want to Uber gave me so much freedom and an hourly wage in the high 20's when I couldnt find a job.

Cons

Mileage pay rate has been decreasing due to competition with Lyft Putting so many miles on car Occasional taxi standoffs Another con is that customers cannot tip through the app. Sooooo many more customers would tip drivers if they could and it would keep drivers happy even with lowered rates.

Pros

Uber credits monthly, stocked kitchen free to enjoy, and a laid back work environment. Good health benefits.

Cons

Poor leadership. Leadership and overall management didn't exist. Most are young employees doing very little and everything is over looked. Employees handling the most sensitive issues (sexual assault, physical assault, fatalities) come into work dirty, talk about how much weed they smoke and how much they drink nightly. If you are an uneducated, unprofessional person with poor hygiene, you'll fit in. It's similar to high school. Major things change on a daily basis. Like schedules, policies and procedures with little to no notice. Everyone tries very hard to be important. Always coming up with some "amazing" project that's a joke. Superiority runs free, and deep. They do not match 401k, and tell you about future raises that never really pan out. If you make friends with some stinky pot head that is in management, you'll be set. If not.. plan to struggle.
