    I have been working at Uber full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    No boss, flexibility, simple work

    Cons

    You really don't make much money, the commission is high, you have to sort out GST and tax, the car requirements are strict and most drivers rent or finance.

    I have been working at Uber full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    The level of talent here is higher than I have seen anywhere else and represents really good diversity of thought. There are fascinating problems to be solved which make a tangible difference to Customers. It is such an exciting place to work.

    Cons

    The work is really interesting and always evolving so you need to be up for the challenge. It is however so rewarding and you’ll learn and grow rapidly in this environment.

    I worked at Uber for more than 3 years

    Pros

    Flexible Hours. Work life balances. Own Boss.

    Cons

    27.5% goes to Uber of every trip. PassagePassenger is always right. Rates and long hours needed. Rating system is flawed.

    I worked at Uber full-time

    Pros

    Some brilliant people at Uber. You will make friends at work. You will grow professionally.

    Cons

    Credits won’t pay your bills. You’ll be underpaid (ballpark) 15-30k. You’ll be overworked - good luck ever agreeing on what falls in your “remit”. If you’re not an extrovert - you’re not going to enjoy Uber’s culture very much. If watching a circle j*rk makes you want to tear your eyes out - don’t apply.

    I have been working at Uber full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    Uber has a fast paced, creative and collaborative culture. You will have the opportunity to be involved with many exciting projects and tasks with passionate and enthusiastic people. Everyone is talented, supportive and wants to do their best!

    Cons

    A fast paced environment is not for everyone, to succeed you need to be autonomous, hard working, confident, and committed.

    I have been working at Uber full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    "Ideas over hierarchy" is one of the key company pillars and they really do practice what they preach. I haven't been in my role for more than 6 months, however, I've already contributed to multiple projects that have had an impact across the whole ANZ market. They do more for L&D than I've seen anywhere else - really investing in their employees. They also understand the impact of culture on a workplace and put money behind team activities and initiatives.

    Cons

    If you're not used to a start-up environment, you'll need to prepare yourself for the volatility of things changing extremely quickly - process changes, product updates, compliance/legal workflow, etc.

    Pros

    I like the hours flexibility

    Cons

    My account has been blocked just because they believe the selfie that I was asked to be taken doesn’t look like my profile photo such an unreliable company who blocked my account for no reason without any fair explanation which doesn’t make any sense and the stupid poor customer service who has got no answer for any of your questions all they can say is they understand but they have no clue It’s time for Uber to be banned
