Pros

+ Not a single slacker on my team. I work with helpful, creative, and smart people. + We're making a material difference in the real world with the technology we are building. + Our US benefits packaging is incredible, especially for women and families. + It still early. The company has grown like crazy, but it still feels like a start up. + We take feedback seriously and are always using it to get better. + Inspirational leadership.

Cons

- There aren't a lot of boundaries as far as work/life; e.g. non-urgent requests come through at odd hours and on weekends. - Unlimited vacation can have the opposite effect when managers and leaders don't model that it's OK to take time off. On the flip side, I see many new dads taking extended parental leave which is awesome. - I'm not a big fan of the performance review process that leans heavily on subjective feedback. - The company is still building its development culture and programs. You won't yet find mentoring and professional development policies in place. To grow, you definitely have to be a real self-starter.

Uber Response

You're spot on, and we're just scratching the surface in the potential impact we can have on the world. Love how you called out inspirational leadership and the material impact we're having on cities, couldn't agree more! Great feedback as well on the cons list - it's definitely a sign of our age that we're still building out employee development and other programs, but I know teams around the company are working hard to roll them out soon. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work!
