Uber

"It's a fast-paced environment with exciting work and a good amount of flexibility. The culture has been much better for women under the new CEO (Dara). Despite the changes, the bad PR from the past still lingers so you have to deal with it on occasion. "

"You need to be very disciplined with your time to ensure you have work life balance"

"Overall great experience, but as a parent it can be challenging to balance everything. The level of understanding the flexibility sometimes needed as a parent (to pick up kids from school during a late afternoon call, take care of kids when they are at home sick etc.) varies greatly depending on your manager. "

"Uber offers great flexibility to parents so you are able to manage your day around nursery/schools runs and bedtime routines. "

"It's the company where I've been more happy, feel more valued for who I am and where Talent Acquisition is deeply involved into Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts. "

"I've been working at Uber for 3 years and it is truly a great place to work. In my experience, women are treated equally and have a lot of opportunities to move up in their careers at Uber."

"I've been with Uber for 7 years and we've grown so much as a company. I've always felt fairly treated and like I'm seen as an equal to my male counterparts."

"Speak up if you are treated differently without hesitation, be yourself and don't hesitate to promote your hard work."

"Uber is a very inclusive place to work! As woman I feel super supported by others in my team and across the company. Uber has thousands of career opportunities, and while being recruitment, I have never seen that the benefits or compensation package differs depending on gender or sexual orientation. Everyones is treated equally! "

"Uber is a great place to work. Females are paid equally than our male counterparts. We also have great benefits like a Family Planning budget for anything related to fertility, adoptions, etc. We also have flexible working arrangements, like 4 day-weeks to help with the personal life balance especially if you have kids. I also really enjoy the amazing effort the company is doing to ensure there are women in leadership positions and how the Women @ Uber Employee Resource Group is the largest one and it advocates for all of us."

"Working here is awesome, gives you the opportunity to grow inside the company, develop new skills and the work - life balance here is great. "

"Inclusion & equity policies at Uber include a focus on hiring equitably across underrepresented communities & women, and a compensation equality policy to ensure everyone gets paid the same if they're coming for the same role with the same years of experience. "

"It's a great place to work, great benefits, flexible policies, understanding colleagues "

"You can truly have it all! There is great work/life balance and I am able to be a great mom while being able to work full time. I won't miss out on moments with my child, but also get recognition at work."

"Uber truly promotes flexibility in working hours, office time, meeting times, etc and has amazing benefits for women including Cleo, Progyny, Lyra, Pregnancy termination, Women's preventative health, maternal and paternal parental leave etc. "

"At Uber, there is a strong and inspirational female representation in leadership"

"Uber is an amazing place to work. I always feel treated as an equal, there are always lots of opportunities to move up and grow. Uber truly cares about their employees and offer amazing benefits such as 5 months maternity leave and other great family benefits. Highly recommend Uber as a place to work!"

"We have a merit based culture so, no matter what your background is, if you do the right thing and if you #buildwithheart than you'll get the deserved recognition."

"Uber is a great place to work - I feel appreciated and empowered and I musta say that I love working with smart and hardworking people. Opinions and ideas are heard - there are lots of feedback forms which the management takes into account. It’s a wonderful place for women to work and it is full of real opportunities. Also, our benefit program and work-life balance are the best! "

"Uber is an incredible place to work! I have had a ton of support in my career transition while staying at Uber (from recruiting to program management). I've had super supportive managers and colleagues. People really support each other here, and encourage them to succeed. I feel very well compensated for what I do, and have a lot of flexibility and work life balance. "

"I feel appreciated working at Uber. They recognise the hard work. I can also see the efforts on promoting women on leadership positions. "

"Definitely, it is a great place to work that values employees. I've always felt that I've been heard and that my opinions matter. "

"We are supported to advance our careers in the company"

"This is the first time in my career that I have felt inundated by female leadership and empowerment. I have never had a Latina leader, and it has been incredibly meaningful to have that."

"Uber has created unique opportunities to hear from female leaders about their successes & challenges. While there is always room for improvement at the top, there is great support here!"

"Woman or not, I feel proud to work at Uber! Yes, there are frustrating and trying times, but the people are incredible. The flexibility is also a huge plus -- I'm able to do what I need to whenever I need to without being questioned or ridiculed."

"The culture is second to none, and I've truly never worked at a more diverse place. I feel inspired to come to work every day and the benefits are incredible."

"Women are very represented in the non-technical space at Uber and Uber is growing to improve our representation in tech at all levels. Overall, the Women @ Uber ERG is very empowering for women alike."

"It's an incredibly supportive and healthy culture. I have learned so much in my time here and definitely one of the best decisions I have made in my entire career which has spanned 30 years."

"Great place, lots of women in leadership that inspire to grow and there is a huge company and culture commitment to diversity. "

"Uber is an amazing company to propel your career forward. I also can't state enough how well their benefits are (speaking for the United States). The flexibility to do my work around random events that may pop up was exactly what I was looking for in a job. I feel as though I'm treated as "an adult" and can manage my workload without someone breathing down my neck, but also given support and guidance if I request it. I've had the opportunity to work in many different positions over a nearly 3 year period and learn a lot about different aspects of the business. "

"Working at Uber is great, and I've never felt there was a difference being a woman!"

"I don't feel a disadvantage of being a woman working at Uber, the company is doing lots of proactive efforts around this and it feels."

"It's a great company with many perks and benefits like time off for school activities for parents and voting day is now a holiday. "

"The atmosphere is very much a "boys club." Uber paid lipservice to making improvements, but in terms of actual improvements, they're pretty much non-existent."

"You will learn a lot and get to work on hairy problems. Be sure to advocate for yourself, find a male leader (assuming there are no women) that is willing to mentor you and advocate for you and you'll do fine. "

"There is a pervasive culture of sexism a lot of which stems for the Engineering department, but permeates to other departments. Executive leadership is not strong and does not address leaders who create a hostile work environment. The company rewards long hours and visibility in the office over results and which do not favor women."

"Its an intense environment. To be successful, you need to be bold, unafraid to voice your opinion, and keep your cool when others have a different opinion. Several of the leaders tend to be very into the details, so you have to work hard to maintain your ownership."

"Not a great place to work for a woman who is trying to start a family or a woman with kids. Pros: Very fast career trajectory Cons: Very rushed culture Changing requests, frequent asks Continually changing management and lot of turnover Micromanagement Untrained managers who do not know how to protect and help their reports Not much independence to do the job"

"Great place to work if you are looking to expand your skills and gain a lot of on-hands experience. "

"It’s a great company that is moving in the right direction."

"it's gotten much better since the former ceo left in 2017"

"There is a lot that has been attempted to solve systemic cultural issues but there are still pockets (part. in Engineering) that are still pretty bad. "

"Be ready to fit the mold that the men in power have created. There is no appetite for diversity of thought, and persistent belief that "sexism may exist... but not in *our* team.""

"Dangerous.They churn em n burn em. Unresponsive.Misinformation.An accident waiting to happen."

"The tech departments are heavily male and have given specific feedback to women trying to transfer internally that they were not a "culture fit". "

"sky's the limit - tons of opportunity to work hard and be recognized"

"Stay away. You wil be objectified and treated less than human. "

"It's highly political - politic are far more important than work product"

"While the PR doesn't look good, this is a great time to be at Uber. Women's voices are being heard in new ways, allies for women are speaking up for better work environments. There is a positive wave of energy that is fueling what women are doing and how women's leadership and voice are being leveraged to improve Uber as a business and place to work. "

"Yes and I have"

"I've enjoyed working here so far. The atmosphere is definitely intense, it's a fast paced tech company. There is the typical gender split that leaves me mostly working with males in engineering, and females in marketing. As with most tech companies in the Silicon Valley, everyone is gender progressive, but subconscious bias prevails and you'll end up being more successful adopting typically make traits. "

"To be successful you must be aggressive and outspoken as a woman"

"They have an amazing maternity leave policy 17 weeks + 20 days"

"Upper level management seems to be all men from what I can tell."

"If you decide to drive for this company, keep in mind that income taxes are not withheld AND you are not contributing to your social security account. Additionally, because drivers are "independent contractors," there is no overtime and absolutely no benefits whatsoever--forget maternity and any sort of family leave. I have been doing this while I'm in grad school, but it has NOT been worth it. Clearly, it is beneficial for the COMPANY and not the PEOPLE to "hire" people under "independent contractor" status rather than as employees. Two thumbs down."

"You choose your hours and have the option to cancel rides if you feel uncomfortable or like someone is disrespecting you or your car. I've been driving for Uber for over a year (over 2K rides) and have never had to cancel a ride, except for when i've arrived to the destination and the passenger is nowhere to be found, nor are they answering their phone. It's the easiest money I've ever made. You meet a bunch of people, have great conversation, and get paid for driving your own vehicle on your own time."

"I would say it depends on where you live if you should drive alone."

"It's good for part-time supplementary pay but not a good choice for full time work."

"With Uber, you get back what you put in."

"N/a"

"Fratty culture with a lot of employees 2-3 years out of college. The vibe there is decidedly middle school - cliques, backbiting, sabotage - and managers who are incredible individual contributors, but don't have the experience or know how to reign in out of line underlings. No work life balance at the lower levels. Can be a good opportunity for a short time, but you must be ready to say goodbye to your family."
