Uber reviews

- POLITICS (even if you try to avoid them you are negatively impacted) - Bad hires: In the beginning I think Uber hired a lot of great talent and good people but now it is growing so fast that they are not hiring well, and they are hiring a ton of jerks that do not care about the people or culture and make people feel like you should just be lucky to work at Uber. It's sad - a lot of good talented people are being treated poorly and no one seems to care. - No work life balance: expect to work all day, everyday and weekends and to feel like you are still not doing enough - No real recognition: Even if you work 24/7 and are good at what you do expect to be told you aren't doing enough and to wonder why you aren't being taken care of financially. This is leading to burn out and vets of the company leaving - Trust: Everyone is out to protect themselves and will throw you under the bus to look good really quickly, no one trusts anyone anymore

Uber is an aggressive company - all that matters is results, no matter how you get there. Work 70 hours, step on toes, doesn't matter. There is NO training. If you're new, you have to figure everything out, and if you mess up, you get blamed. There is a common practice of firing people after 2 months if they can't figure things out or keep up. They do NOT give any warnings or feedback, even if you ask for it. Work-life balance is non-existent. I saw 3 people get fired after 2 months for "under-performance." None of them were told specifics except that they were "unfit" to be at Uber and today was their last day. No questions, and they couldn't even go back to collect their belongings. HR also didn't give any explanations other than they had to sign their packages and then immediately leave. The company does NOT care about its employees, only about winning. The culture is one of working too hard and being scared to leave before 6:30pm or doing personal things in case you get in trouble or someone rats you out.
