Pros
-It is a great company with a great global corporate culture. -Visionary firm oriented towards to future. -Very innovative and high-quality internal tools, which make working at Uber enjoyable. -Top-notch IT equipment. -All Hands allow different team to get together and get a feeling on the progression of the company. -People are very nice. -Possibility to liaise with people from different offices. -The facilities of the Paris office are great and the quality of the (free) food is good. -Career progression still possibile (but more toward the regional HQ ).
Kontras
-Elitist and somewhat nepotistic environment in the Paris office, with several hires coming from the same schools/promotions (ex SciencesPo, HEC) or being friends with current employees. Very evident in the marketplace team, for example. -In some teams, management is too directive and not listening to suggestions, prompting people to leave. -Limited progression chances in some Paris teams, leading to high turnover. -At times, lack of structure and competencies, miscommunications amongst teams (« it’s not my perimeter » attitude, no “homework” before asking things). -Very silent work environment. It doesn’t have the buzz of a start-up. -Difference of treatment persists amongst FTEs and contractors (especially on the social perspective).
