Pros

One of the core pillars the Executive Leadership Team focuses on is Employee Retention. I've never experienced that before. They spend a lot of effort working on ways to keep employees, happy, engaged, and recognized.

Cons

Some groups are not part of the core Rideshare teams and are, as such, semi-isolated by communications and initiatives. But, to be fair, it's a huge, global company.

Pros

they revamped their salary and equity structure once employees started leaving amidst all of the self-inflicted turmoil in 2017. so some employees received hefty adjustments upward to align with the bottom of the market equivalent bands. early employees were able to keep what became a generous (generous because of non-retro changes that were made) Uber credit benefit to be used for rides & meals. you get to work with some very smart, capable, driven-by-ambition young people who foresee themselves achieving great things elsewhere.

Cons

Zero work /life balance. Internal politics are rife with domain protection and territory management in order to achieve career growth. Total focus on individual achievement and some toxic team dynamics depending on which org you work in. Fringe benefits (meals, Uber credits, (un)limited vacation, facilities, training opportunities) are 2nd class. Institutional sexism and ageism, with less and less transparency as issues are bubbled up to the surface. This has created a cover-up culture that spends heavily on spin and PR. Huge technical debt across several organizations.
