San Francisco, CA · founded 2009
Uber has grown up a lot since the Kalanick-era scandals and Susan Fowler's 2017 memo — under Dara Khosrowshahi it's a profitable, more professional place — but the DNA is still intense, metrics-driven and visibility-obsessed. Comp is strong and the scale of problems is real, yet reviewers describe competition sharp enough to burn out on, a promotion ceiling around senior (L5A), and some teams drifting toward long-hours expectations. As of mid-2025 it's back to three days a week in the Mission Bay office (Tue-Thu), remote arrangements were clawed back, and the sabbatical clock got pushed from five years to eight — signals of a tightening, not a loosening, culture. Women and parents will find far better guardrails than the old Uber, but this is a big, ambitious, performance-first company, so pick your org and manager carefully. Come for the impact and the pay; don't expect a gentle pace.
